Hawg Huntin' - Leeming 14-7-16

Post by Vixen1 » Thu Jul 14, 2016 6:09 pm

Frustrating day but worth the effort.
Last minute end changes, the sun going in for every potential decent shot and ages waiting for them to go.
Six flew up until 3.00pm when I left plus four Loaches. Good to see Kevin Martin and meet the Dutch guys, you know who you are!

Ross, most taken from the viewing area but the landing shots were taken from the path next to the A1 near the bridge, they got there before I could get to the bridge.

Well I certainly share your frustration Tony even if the end swapping was ok by me! Every time they come out it seems to cloud over. Got a couple more afternoons to have another go yet though. Nice efforts despite the gloom. Think mine will stay on Flickr until I get some sun on them though....

Cheers,

Kevin
