As some of you will know I have a new camera body, a Canon R7<\/a>, but I still have the Canon 7D MkII. When I go out I usually have my binoculars with me on their neck strap and after a while, binoculars round my neck, camera and long lens over my shoulder, things start to ache. So I have now bought an Op Tech triple camera harness<\/a>. On Saturday I took it for its first outing. Canon R7 hanging from my right and the binoculars in front. I fitted the under-arm strap on the left to keep things in place and I quite liked it. I am looking forward to the summer when I will also have my Canon 7D on the left with a macro lens fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went down to the river at Denso Marston Nature Reserve<\/a>. I didn’t get any exceptional photos but I did spend some time watching a few birds. Several Goosander were in evidence, a Little Grebe was across the other side of the river looking very small, so no little. On several occasions I spotted Treecreeper. I also heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker that as usual played hide and seek by being on the wrong side of tree trunks, until I caught it on my side of the tree. I spent a few pleasant minutes watching what I think were three Goldcrest in an Ivy covered bush near the gate. The tiny things spent most of their time flitting about behind the leaves, never stopping, so this photo does not deserve to be recognisable. It is taken at full stretch of the lens, 600mm, and 1\/45 of a second, handheld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
