Joe Gilhooley LRPS   Visit to Ron McCombe's Wild Bird Hide   Monday 30th January 2023 . Another visit to Ron McCombe's wild bird hide in Scottish Borders. Wonderful set up. Spent nearly four hours photographing a variety of birds. Here are a selection I rather liked. Well worth contacting Ron to book a slot in bird hide. I say a "bird hide". It is very comfortable. A large shed. Has power and lighting. Comfortable seats. Ron provides either tripod heads to clamp onto the shelf at window. Or, a large beanbag to rest your lens on. Hide has disabled access and you walk about 10 metres from where you park your vehicle to get into the hide. I pick days at bird hide with sunshine in weather forecast. Ron has bird hide situated in way the sun shines onto the birds coming to feed. I used my Canon 1dx MkII Camera with Canon EF 400mm f2.8L IS III USM Lens. With a Canon 1.4 Mk III extender (Converter) attached. Giving focal length of 560mm. I took over 500 photos. There are over 100 on this page. Please take time browsing through them. I photographed Chaffinches, Robins, Sparrows, Dunnock, a Crow, Goldfinches, Coal Tits, Nuthatches, Great Spotted Woodpecker , Treecreeper , Great Tits and Blue Tits. A squirrel made an apperance. The Jay was about but it is timid and did not come in to feed today.   See also Gray Squirrel reflections at the bird hide same morning.   other latest photograph links   Visit to Ron McCombe's Wild
