You know things haven't worked out the way you had hoped when the best photo is of a Robin. How the Robin is a wonderful bird, and this one decided it wanted to be feed and so came closer and closer but this wasn't what I was after. I had spent the morning doing some scouting out of locations - this time Thornton reservoir. It usually has a fine selection of water birds but I was more interested in birds around a feed that had been set out. I spent over an hour in the bushes and really the only half decent photo I came up with was of the Robin. I think I should enter a word of caution here - I haven't had a good look at most of the other photos so there may be many other photos I will eventually like but at the moment the Robin is it.
This is the frustration of wildlife photography. Some days it works so well and some days it is so frustrating. I have taken some comfort from the fact that I have gained a lot of other information from the scouting and this has been stored away. I just wish the photography it self had been a little more rewarding. Are well ce la vie.
