Morcambe Bay
I’m reminded of the episode of Father Ted in which Ted tries to explain perspective to Dougal, “…these (model cows) are very small, but those outside aren’t small - they’re just faaar away.” I’ve just spent a week in Morcambe in the hope of getting some nice images of waders. But I didn’t realise just how small they were, and how infuriatingly far away they were. Morcambe Bay is HUGE. The sea goes out so far, you can’t see it - and that’s where many of the birds are. Yet another learning experience. Using my 600mm zoom on the XT5 I was able to get close enough, but the conditions were not right for anything artistic. My first experience really looking at these birds and seeing their behaiviour.
