R5 Mk II + RF200-800mm, (slightly) cropped in post-processing.

Fine shot of another one of my favourite birds. I want to go to Texel some time but I'm not travelling to the Schengen region while they are making us queue for hours.

Thanks for the compliment.

Pity that you will not come to Texel shortly. This time of year on Texel, the birds will be coming at you, no seeking necessary: All photo’s were taken this morning in less than 2 hours.

You are a member of a small esteemed group who will cheerfully admit not to being right. The other practice is to double down by either moving the goal posts like "the branch it is perched on is not..." or just deny "it's actually an Inner Mongolian Little Brown Job as you should know from the part of the claw that is hidden round the back which ChatGPT can't see".

"You are a member of a small esteemed group who will cheerfully admit not to being right".
Probably, just exclude "cheerfully" and you would be right again. I don't cheer on my mistakes - I just learn .
