Bird survey work
While sitting quite still for up to three hours, some wildlife can come close, even by intensively farmed crops.
And amazingly you can, if you're lucky, stumble across the odd Orchid or two, flowering in a set aside strips, while carrying out a breeding bird survey.

Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)
Always great to see these birds, and on the doorstep too. As usual a nightmare to photograph well, despite their tameness. They are often obscured in the tree, usually on the furthest side to you (not surprisingly), light not right, except in someone's garden, the no-no of having a long lens in an urban setting etc etc.
