Didn't have the time for something further than the Zoo. Just Night Heron (not in cage, many wild birds are using that territory... ) smartly using shade from the noon sun (just imagine using an umbrella -everyone will see you). SMART! The funny thing is that it's looking down in the pool of the big, juicy Charials (Gavialis gangeticus)-no fish is surviving there! On other hand nearly 100% of the visitors are yelling "Alligator" despite the obvious (and easy to see!!!) differences...

Robin photos from December I haven't processed yet.
I like the contrast with the snow. My usual setup:
5D4, 100-400L II + TC, @560 mm, f/8, 1/500, ISO3200
I am really happy that the details are so well even at that ISO level.
You can imagine from the first pic that it was f***ing cold that day (-14°C, 6°F)

Really like the first shot. Pose, colours, detail etc. Very nicely done.

The pose in the second one is great. Full of curiosity
Wonderful sharpness. And the BG is just perfect, so creamy

This bird is smarter than many humans. Nice shots, ISv.
