I can NOT get any good photos of Lapwing.

I've been going to the James Hamilton heritage Loch a lot recently where a flock of Lapwing roost over the Winter.  Every time I go, the light fades or they fly away, so very, very irritating.  I just had to rant.

They are very pretty little birds indeed, although very scared of people (or maybe it is just me)

Anyways a couple of photos from the last few Trips.

First trip: ISO 100, 16.9x digital zoom.  TOO DARK! argh.

Second Trip: ISOmax 800, 16.9x Digital Zoom.  Flash activated and, whilst it is unclear here, there is eye shine (also slightly out of focus.)

Third Trip: ISO 200, 16.9x Digital Zoom.  Still a bit dark and blurry, BUT they are at least allowing me to get slightly closer.

I shall be continuing to go and TRYING to get decent photos of these cool little guys so I shall no doubt update this a few times.
