Wigeon (Anas penelope) sent on November 01, 2015 (19:44) by Alcedo. 0 comments, 463 views.

con Canon EF 2.0x III, 1/1250 f/6.3, ISO 400, hand held. Kintai Fishponds, Lithuania.

The hide is 0,440 km away from the guest-house by foot/bicycle. After reaching the bridge 180 m, there are 260 meter walk. The water level in the pond can be up to 40 cm, so in spring we provide low angle view for our guests. On the last 50 meters it is important to be very quiet not to scare the resting birds away. The hide inside is clean, it has 4 chairs to sit down. A shelf is available for putting the equipment away when not in use and our birding diary to fill in what was seen/ photographed in the past visits by our guests and guide. The hide is made of two separate parts, the base is to reach the lowest angle possible, according to the level of the water. The most practical way to photograph is from tripod head that you can mount on the window sill or on beanbag, as the tripod is taking too much space. In front of the hide there is a bay with large water surface and Small Island with bushes that provides interesting backgrounds. In order to attract more birds we often put fish on the ground. Dress code is dark as the birds can easily notice any glosses. The sun rises behind the hide (on the right) and sets in front the hide (on the left side). The hide is suitable for overnight sleeping, but only in summer period.
