Show your Bird Portraits

Some from today... Common wax-bill, subadult (male) Northern Cardinal, Red-whiskered Bulbul ("desperately searching for birds", in this case it's fledglings) and fledglings of Chestnut Munia.

Beautiful, I hope that the subadult (male) Northern Cardinal selects perches more suitable to photography when he’s grown up.

White wagtail (Motacilla alba) chasing insects.



The AF couldn’t keep up with the action, but the next (unsharp) photo shows it got the insect.

R5 Mk II + RF 200-800mm, 50% crop.

serinus serinus in English European serin sits on a barrel of water that I have near the vineyard, the bee on the right is also sharp on the same barrel but among the insects and butterflies on these pages ...

You don't even have to wait until then to fix it. Just before lunch I took a photo of a Skylark singing while perched on and partly obscured by a metal fence and netting. 30 seconds and Photoshop and Hey Presto! (I chose the one with the right colour legs imagined by PS.) It's scary, and it will be used, and most likely is now.
