Spent the immediate Christmas aftermath with my wife's extended family in Pitchit. This gave me a couple of mornings birding in the local (intensively farmed) rice paddies, testing out my new Nikon V1 mirrorless camera body, mounted on my 300mm f4 AF-S lens. The results are very promising, but I'll write a proper review once I've got used to using it (and read the instruction book!).
The species I connected with were pretty unsurprising but a welcome change from my regular patch species with
Painted Snipe,
Oriental and
Black-browed Reed Warblers,
Asian Golden Weaver, dozens and dozens of
Dusky Warblers, a couple of pairs of
Red-wattled Lapwing, several
Cinnamon Bittern Intermediate Egret and a
Grey Heron.
All images below were taken with the Nikon 1 V1.
