Photographing in a hide and events in the sky
I had finally day of work and change to set up a hide for photographing waders. Pohjanranta has wet meadows around its northern shore. I started my 17 hours photo session in the evening. During first hours I did not get any close up images since birds stayed away.
In the morning situation changed and waders came closer and closer, sometimes even too close. Largest wader flocks were in the meadow south of the bird tower, but some of the birds visited also in my smaller meadow. Ducks and Goose were very vary and never came close.
7.5. During Ross´s gull twitch there was beautiful halo display around the sun.
9.5. Planet Mercury crossed the disk of the sun. Unfortunately I don’t have good digiscoping camera. I managed to get these shots trough by birding scope. Planet Mercury is left and down from large sunspot. Klick twice to see larger image.
