Some stuff that I take pics off

[04OFF]

., the buzzards can be a three hour wait though.

Dedication there, think id be heading home after about 15 min (lol), do you have one of those cammo huts to sit in ?

The coal tits are about 3 inch long and fast as blazes most of the time, there is a lot of swearing at times with missing shots and chopping heads off.

Haha, now you mention it, I can remember those little birds from when I lived in the UK, blink and there gone !

Fantastic shots Fracster, have those gold finches here in TAS. Darn hard to get them on film. What gear you using, lens etc?

I use Nikon D3S or D800. Generally with a 300 F4 lens with a 1.4 TC on it or a 500 F4 mate.

Both hides are made of timber planking mate, will take some pics of them for you.

In fact, I have some somewhere,i`ll dig them out.

This is the small bird hide, it now has a felted roof and the set up is different,but here you go:



That is my old 4Runner......................It was a good bus.

Buzzard hide:

Pics of the framework and the outlook from the hide.















Frame is 90% complete, mainly 4x2 and 3x2 and fastened together with 3.25" coachscrews






Total cost about £300 plus I scrounged a load of timber so add another £50 on top of that. Hope it is worth it.

I wouldn't like to be a fencing contractor over there fractster..Nice pics mate.

My trail cam has worked, this is a badger, member of the weasel family, quite large and will eat anything it can.

I take it those fences are from days of yore, Love the stone out house as well.
They use that cold stacking of stones[rocks] on some industrial areas here.

The dry stone walls are centuries old mate, they are used up in the north of England,especially on the higher ground and moorland.

Quick video of a peregrine falcon, excuse the noise and shake, it was windy as hell up there.
