Success!

I popped in to check the terns on Derek's tonight and was delighted to find two of these dudes on the pit - Black Terns.  Until today I'd struggled to get flight shots with my GX7, but a spark last night meant that I decided to ignore the EVF and use a magnified viewer over my screen instead.  It seemed to do the trick - several decent keepers amongst the few hundred shots I took - a better rate than simply using the EVF.

Digiscoped with a Panasonic GX7, 20mm f1.7, Kowa 883, 25-60x.

First shots with the Kowa 1.6 extender

Below are just a few of the images I've got recently using the new Kowa 1.6 extender on my Kowa 883 'scope and 25-60x eyepiece.  The quality of the new extender is impressive and very sharp.  More to follow...

Back to Chiffchaffs

I'm not going to say very much about this bird, other than to say it's a Siberian Chiffchaff, and that I got a great deal of satisfaction digiscoping this one!

Back on it

Got to get back on this blogging bicycle, so here's an image from my new digiscoping camera - the Panasonic GX7.  It's quite good!
