    Default Dunnock with ring at Hosehill lake

    Noticed that this bird was ringed, I guess not surprising as there are regular ringing sessions at the lake, not sure whether there's enough data visible to be of any use though.

    Fujifilm FinePix S8200 plus Samsung J5 mobile phone camera. Chinon Compact 9-21 x 25 RB binoculars and 10x - 30x60 Zoom binoculars

    There seem to be a lot of s's there - or is it s's and 3's? Otherwise 02 is seen. Might that have been a 2002 ringing - or do Dunnocks not live that long?

    Whatever, it's a superb pic of the little bird. Because Dunnocks are so (Sh! - 'drab') I find them difficult to photograph well!

    Olympus Evolt E520, and borrowed lenses and flash. Fuji Finepix S7000 for Macro A chair :)

    Default

    Nice shot - I sometimes find that turning it into a negative sometimes help distinguish text - although I suspect that too much is on the other side of the ring to be useful
