This turned out to be one of my favorite bird images from the Galapagos despite it not initially jumping out at me. It just needed the right processing to get it right.
And you got a dragonfly and damselfly!Bluethroat doing some solitary singing (season is mainly over, so they're not showing themselves that much anymore )
Unfortunately, with the sun heating up the ground heat-shimmer already spoiled sharpness at the distance I could approach the bird (40-50m)

We have great thread on these https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?threads/dragonflies-and-damselflies.35543/OK, I think this thread could tolerate a shot of a (non) BIF. What are the British dragons like?

Now that's a kingfisher with attitude! You have given me an excuse for posting my kingfishers in flight, through many attempts over the years with different cameras and lenses and a lot of luckKingfishers always make a cool subject but gettining them in flight can be so difficult. So I tend to get more portraits

Great egrets building a nest!
