Show your Bird Portraits

And, it can be fun to make an animated gif, especially if your R5ii doesn't freeze, fail to focus and drain its battery, and the RF 200-800mm doesn't break in two during the shots.

Today it was the day of Japanese White-eyes and the Yellow-fronted Canary. I got few other birds too but they don't fit to the talk: the White eyes were doing what they do best - looking for insects in the foliage. The big surprise were the Canary: there was a flock of 10-15 birds doing strange air-acrobatics above a grass-field. These are classical seed-eaters but use to feed on nectar too. I have never seen them chasing flying insects before! And they were amazingly good in that: the Bulbuls use to do it regularly but they look clumsy in compassing to what I saw with the Canaries!
Concerning the last photo: I wish I got the bird in focus but "sometimes you need to close your eyes to see the things properly":sneaky::unsure:.

Edited: I forget to include the last photo!
