I went back  quite early to Exminster Marsh this morning, in the hope of getting a better photograph of the Lesser Whitethroat that I had seen yesterday. I did see and hear this little bird again  but unfortunately, today I couldn't get close enough for a  photograph. It spent most of the time in the trees and bushes opposite and over the railway line.  I listened to a Linnet singing from the brambles just opposite as well and in the really gorgeous early morning light, I photographed It as it sang.   I used my Pentax Prime 300 lens with a new 1.4 convertor.  This gives me an equivalent of 420 bout the quality is very good and there is the added bonus of being able to focus down to just a few feet, unlike my 500 prime lens which is a good lens but only focuses down to 15 feet. I just loved the early morning golden light which was about as perfect as it could be I think.

As I walked back down the track there was a pair of Long tail Tits that had a territory somewhere near the path. They kept returning to the same area and I took some lovely photographs of them when they were very close to me.
