[Cog]

Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted in this thread. The last year was very busy, with much less time for photography than before. But I managed to shoot some birds in Florida and here in Qatar this spring. I'll try to dumppost the photos of the species that I did not shoot much before.

The very elusive Eurasian Bittern, a bird that usually remains hidden in the reeds and is mostly caught flying. Last time I saw one on the ground was in 2019. (R5/200-800mm).

Still running after the Chestnut Munia... I wish I really scared the first one to the degree it looks (actually it's reaction to the temperature) - as a revenge for their devilish behavior. After that an juvenile and adult (x2). Japanese White-eye and Java Sparrow.

Another beautiful series, ISv.

Very nice shots. I love feathers flying away in the wind.
