Rainham Riverside with my crap lense

Took a little trip down to RSPB Rainham Marshes yesterday.I only really went to get a cheeky sausage roll from the visitor centre,they may be a bit over priced but they are nice.They didn't have any.....so i settled for a sausage Sandwich anyhow,not as nice,but still not bad.
Obviously i took my bins,scope and camera with me so decided on a walk along the Sea wall,anyone who knows rainham,knows its not really the sea,although it is tidal and it has a wall,thefore its the sea wall.
A couple of hour stroll turned quite productive with a few Black tailed godwits,redshank,an oystercatcher and a grey plover on the kent side,a year tick for me.I also had rock,water and Meadow pipit but due to my camera being a pile of poo,well the lense anyway,most of my shots came out blurry,think i need to out this poxy sigma lense in favour of a nikon one,problem is i don't really have Nikon money at the moment.
Anyway,have some pony pictures from yesterday,these are the best of a bad bad bunch/.
May sod off back to rainham in a minute for another sausage roll,expect more crap photos

  1. Some nice birds there! I don't find a problem with the Sigma 150-500mm if that's what you use. Here are two links so you can see what it can do. What modes do you use?
