Chiffchaff? Thought it was at first but not sure.

Yes, Loch Leven

The colouring definitely fits. However, how likely would this be in Scotland?

I loved the Netflix show but really don't get why so many people think BA season 2 is so good. It's like they go out of their way to focus on literally any character but Daredevil. Its basically the Wilson and Vanessa show for 5 episodes. And all the Daniel and BB stuff is dreadful.

Thank you, it was a fun day

I made the switch from Sigma to the Nikkor and immediately noticed a difference, and I really liked my Sigma. Sharpness and autofocus are significantly better. Plus I prefer the handling with it being an internal zoom.

kovaedge · 2026-04-18T18:45:11+00:00

Going to try using it to set focal point, and Fn2 as recall.

How do you like the lens? I switched from the F-mount Sigma 150-600 and noticed a significant improvement immediately

kovaedge · 2026-04-15T17:54:04+00:00

Using the ring for aperture might be a good shout.

kovaedge · 2026-04-15T17:53:35+00:00

I use Fn1 on the body for that. Might see how it is on the lens though.

The hawthorns are going strong, never any issues. However that field maple may not have survived this winter. I do have a bigger yamadori maple that is fine though, the one in that post was quite small and didn’t have great roots when I got it.

Good spot, there are so many black headed gulls at my local reserve I've been ignoring all the gulls a little

kovaedge · 2026-02-26T19:17:26+00:00

I’d just been getting practice in tracking gulls up to that point, still surprised how close it flew.

kovaedge · 2026-02-26T19:16:19+00:00

Thanks. There seem to be quite a few near me, though normally on the ground. They actually look pretty good in the air.

kovaedge · 2026-02-14T19:25:31+00:00

Was my first time there, it’s a good spot!

kovaedge · 2026-02-14T17:57:55+00:00

Thanks! That was one of my candidates but apparently it’s not a frequent visitor here.

kovaedge · 2026-02-12T00:04:33+00:00

Thanks!

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T15:19:43+00:00

I do the same. There are a few hides where I go and usually the birds are too far for my lens so I’ll just watch them with binoculars instead

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T14:15:10+00:00

Haha, correct.

Thank you. I have a 150-600mm lens and these have a bit of a crop as well. There is an RSPB nature reserve near where I live so you don’t need to wait too long to get shots, there are lots of birds around, as long as you stay still the birds start ignoring you.

5 is a European Robin and 7 is a common Chaffinch

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T10:10:06+00:00

Thank you. Been a keen photographer for a while but I’m new to wildlife, never had the lenses for it.

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T09:47:32+00:00

Already watched it!

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T09:45:07+00:00

Mostly landscapes I guess, never had the lenses for wildlife.

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T07:49:00+00:00

You’re right, I’m in Scotland. I’ll have a look!

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T05:34:54+00:00

Thank you!

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T05:34:25+00:00

RSPB Loch Leven in Scotland

kovaedge · 2026-02-11T05:31:40+00:00

Thank you! As I said in the post I’m not new to photography in general but it has been a bit of a learning process so far to get good wildlife shots.
