Red-breasted merganser. Last year´s couple has returned, probably with their kids from last year. Now there are three couples here. A very cool bird.
1DX, 600 f4L IS II + 2xIII extender

PS! Doing AFMA on 1200mm has been a bit of a challenge. I almost wrote this combo off as unsharp. But I decided to give it one more try and as you can see, it´s plenty sharp.

Beautiful shot Eldar. Nicely done.

I managed to get a pic of my two love birds, they’re getting to sit outside now which seems to really stimulate them, they sing at all the wild birds and we even had a few nice visitors in the garden yesterday who were curious, a small flock of Indian Silverbills and a family unit of Purple (Palestinian) Sunbirds. The one on the top is Yoda and underneath is Jabba
