Between 12 to 20 feet at maximum , there were about 8 of us there and the guys with the mega lenses couldn't put there tripods up it's a very narrow pavement on a bend . The manouverabilty of my rig made it easy to move into a favourable position . I often had to stand in the road shooting over the heads and shoulders of the others . A advantage of being tall

Sunshine broke out in Norfolk. Unfortunately, the world and his wife had the same idea as me to get out on the marsh.:needsahug:

Why people have to make so much noise when out in groups I never understand. Shouting that a water rail was in the dyke.....for 30sec! Didn't even have time to get the camera out of the bag. :whip:

Fortunately they weren't interested in a common old redshank.

....or these (2) grey plovers.

Yeah I know there's noise but haven't got a good noise reduction app on the iPad. Will wander into the office and fire up the PC one day. ;-)

....and they totally missed a Water Pippit. Mind you it was smaller than the red focus rectangle in the D500 viewfinder ....so difficult to see in the stubble and get good focus.
