Just came back from Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, photographing the world´s coolest bird, the Dalmatian Pelican. A big and beautiful bird, with an attitude.

Wow, love that hair stylist.

This individual is a special one. He´s got one yellow and one white eye. According to the local guide, this is the only pelican on the lake with that. He is called Golden Eye and he has as much attitude as you can see in that look ;D

It's been a very long time since I took my big lens out hunting for birds, but I'm finally getting back into it. Despite only perching in the shade, this kingfisher showed well, and the mistle thrush was similarly confiding. Nice to get back into it

(Both crops of 700mm on the 5D3).

(Don't the inline previews on here ruin all the fine details?).

@Eldar, scyrene and Stuart,
some excellent bird pictures; v. well done
... if only I could find the time to go out - results would likely not be as good as yours, but so much fun being out there ...

Waders

Nice pictures of these waders; and good light ... beautiful reflections!
(last time I was out at the sea it was raining half the time and heavily clouded all the time )

If you have been to Kauai, you likely saw many, many wild chickens. Apparently settlers from some parts of the Pacific brought chickens with them to raise. During hurricanes, the housing was destroyed, and the chickens flew the coop, so to speak. I thought this was a particularly handsome rooster:
