The Stuart Hutchings portfolio part 3

The four photographs below were all taken in Cornwall and Scilly.  Black and white photography was Stuart's favourite medium.  In fact, of all the photo's given to me, none are in colour!

Blackpoll Warbler, most likely the St Agnes bird in October 1984.

Juv Pectoral Sandpiper at Stithians Reservoir.



Least Sandpiper, Feb 1986. Twitched by hundreds of birders as it fed on the cliff edge near Portscatho.



Long-billed Dowitcher.

The Stuart Hutchings portfolio

Continuing with the publication of some of Stuart's work, the species below would today set pulses racing.  The Belted Kingfisher image was taken at Boscathnoe Reservoir in August 1980.  Originally located at Sladesbridge in 1979, John Johns later refound the same bird just west of Penzance. This was the third record for Britain.
