It was a nice afternoon so I made my second visit of the day to Marazion Marsh, still looking for my first illusive Bittern image of the winter, No show! but I amused myself with a few of the locals while waiting, first off, our pair of resident Mute Swans have a very close bond to the extent that from this camera angle they looked like a two headed monster.
The Snipe spend little time on the marsh margins where they are always in danger from the local Sparrowhawk but this one decided to run the gauntlet for long enough for me to rattle off a few shots.
The resident Stonechat are quite laid back and show little fear of birders and photographers that come and go along the road boundary wall, This male that was busy feeding on flying insects while giving me the opportunity for a few more take-off images, It got closer and closer until my camera angle was obscured by the wall so I shinned up onto it and captured this very close sequence which I have montaged and posted below.
I turned to get down only to see a very close rabbit that was alarmed by my stance on the wall and not looking to pleased with my performance, I just had time to captured his reaction before he was gone.
