Thank you
- CLick
- Jack, and thank you for suggestions to improve shooting through window
- ISV, yes the first ('halemejse') is really cute

Regarding the hawfinch: For sure it likes sunflower-seeds (see picture in my post above).
Well done to get these good shots in the tree, Alan.

Nice Alan. That's quite the beak. Is that seed their favorite?

Jack

In the UK, they eat cherry, beech and hornbeam. That beak is powerful enough to break open cherry stones.

Hey Alan, I was just musing to myself that after you're hunting for a month someone will post a dozen perfect shots from their backdoor. Happens to me all the time, i.e. the Black-Crowned Night Heron - here I can scarcely get near one and well, remember Harry. ;)

wild Mallard ducks.....

I was starting to think that they were considering becoming carnivores.... and going after a few humans....

Ah yes, I think there is an old movie along these lines! ;) you'd better lock your doors.

Few from the weekend. My primary goal where the Sulfur-crested cockatoos but I fail again: I was not able to get closer than 23.71 meters (~77.8 feet), ISO 1000, 1/320" on not well balanced tripod (steep muddy slope)...
The rest of the birds are not important...
The night heron is from the last summer.
