Welney WWT Infrared Landscapes

I took my new Infrared Camera to Welney the other day and took some landscapes.

CCC Visit to Welney WWT

Last Friday 11 people from the Cambridge Camera Club visited Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT) at Welney on the Hundred Foot Bank to see the Swans and other birds. In the morning we stayed at the hide near the visitor centre. Then in the afternoon we walked down to the Lyle Hide. We managed to see Whooper Swans (who had arrived from Iceland) Mute Swans (who are resident here all year), Teal, Wigeon, Stonechat, Lapwing, Pied Wagtail, Geese and Snipe. Two birds I saw but no pictures where a Kingfisher (the first time I had seen one in the wild) and then as we where leaving I did see a Barn Owl which was really exciting.

Afternoon at the Lyle Hide.

WWT Slimbridge

Back at the begining of February we made  visit to The Slimbridge Wetland Center in Gloucestershire. It was quite overcast but the birds where great fun watching. I was again using my new 100 - 400mm Mk1 Canon Lens, Still learning and still finding it a lovely lens. As it was overcast I started shooting at 1600 ISO and by the end of the day I was at 3200 ISO.
