| Remarks : | This Yellow Bittern was taken in the early morning (07:00) in Bidor using an LV 24-8mm eyepiece set to about 60 times (distant 100 to 120 meters). I like this one as the bittern is very alert on a prey. The focusing knob on the ETX as it gives very precise fine tuning adjustment. The Nikon 995 cool pix camera does not have much of a problem focusing in the auto mode. Added to which my homemade cool pix close up monitor viewer also greatly assists me in focusing the subject well. |
