    Default Sooty Oystercatcher & Caspian Tern

    I was out on Troubridge island with my family and of course the camera.



    Cheers Fred

    Wow! Both great captures but the colours in the oyster catcher are remarkable.

    Both excellent photos Fred but particularly the
    first one ... looks like it has done a modelling
    course with the pose.

    Fred what was the distance on the first one. It's crystal clear. Was it a long lens?

    RookieThe lens was an AF- S Nikkor 55-200 1.4-5.6G DX with VR hand held.

    The Sooty was only a few metres away

    On my camera ( i think ) the effective range is then 300 which is what my exif shows

    Hope this helps i'm not into the techy stuff.

    There's lots of Terns on the island and they let you get real close and they make an almighty racket trying to chase you off.
    Cheers Fred

    Hey Fred,

    Nice shots mate ,

    We have a pair of Oyster catchers that come to my work, looking through the stuff that comes off the bottom of the Boats, Mussells, oysters and stuff. Ever since some one told me that they were called Oyster Catchers, I have wondered why their legs are so long and strong, Oysters don't move so quick .
