Langford Lakes
On Saturday, 20th May, Tim Tapley led a workshop at Langford Lakes, run by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, primarily to do macro photography. Fifteen members of the club assembled to hear some guidance from Tim, and then with the sun rising in the sky, and the insects becoming more active and visible, the group spent the morning honing their skills and trying to avoid the swans on the track. There were plenty of damsel flies, dragon flies, spiders, beetles and more.
Some club members had also brought telephoto lenses, for the numerous warblers, woodpeckers, cuckoos, grebe, swans, heron, kingfishers, geese, tufted ducks and a thrush who sang from the same tree for at least two hours. The site does have a cafe, so giving all a chance to discuss their morning before setting out again in the afternoon. GC
