Some shots from the Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge over the weekend. Shot from my "Chevy Blind" :)

Both with the 100-200 f/4.5 @ 200mm, ISO 400 and f/6.3-f/8 (I always have to try and remember because Photoshop strips the exif when you "Save for the Web")



A7R III - FE 24-105/4, FE 70-300/4.5-5.6, FE 85/1.8, FE 55/1.8Z, LA-EA3 for MAF 20/2.8 and MAF 100/2.8 Macro

Taken at a small wildlife park in Galloway recently - KM7D & PP'd in HeliconFilter [all have haze removal to try and negate shooting through wire cages, and some sharpening to try & recover] - no cropping...

Collared Dove - Min 50/3.5M [I know the top of the head is blown-out, but I liked it for the light in the eye, and that it let me get so close!]:

Finally got some good weather this AM.

Not really up to some of the others, especially those swans; gorgeous.

Tricolored heron on the hunt.



Locked and loaded.



The strike.



Breakfast!

Looks like Heron's are the flavour of the month world wide!! Some shots from yesterday.

Any idea what the purple fringe is on some of the pics? All taken with 70-210/f4.
