BLUETHROAT

17-02-2017 Willow Tree Fen, Lincolnshire 

A very early 4.45am start to get there at 7.15am at first light for the very popular Bluethroat. I was first there but a couple of birders turned up at 8.00am and the bird appeared on the main track from the car park. I laid down on the floor to get most of the shots and used my 500mm lens only. Light was not great and because the bird was so close I struggled to get a good depth of field. it was a trade off between ISO and Aperture whilst trying to maintain a reasonable shutter speed (1/320 -1/500th), handheld.
