I really like the last picture. Beautiful bird. Well done, ISv.

All very nice pictures I'm sure but they are taking forever to load.

BTW, this is a Martial Eagle. I took this in Tanzania last January. Seems like years now!

Spring has officially sprung here...the ducks and geese are now taking over the parks. Not as colorful or interesting as the previous images on the page, this is from last weeks trial run with an M6 MkII.

Islander, love when their head feathers do that in the wind, very nice capture! A different little birdie told me that some birds prefer crab...

Very nice series, Islander.

Damn it! I eat this fish (or kind of) after been frozen! No fish is better than really fresh fish (depend on the species!). Very nice captures!
P.S. And no good white wine?!!!

No mater how colorful or interesting they are - all of them are very welcome here! And I think it's very nice photo!

Common Loon. It surfaced after a long dive and I was lucky to be right in front. It looked at me with glaring red eyes with surprise while water still dripping from its face! Unfortunately this one is a lonely loon and I haven't seen his partner.
Of course, this is the bird on the Canadian dollar coin, i.e. looney!

I also got a new species today (not that rare but very hard to spot: these are master-troublemakers - you hear it singing somewhere from the nearby bush/tree but can't spot it. And even when I spot it it was behind leafs/branches. I heard at least 15-20 singing along the trail and this one was the best "exposed" - out of two seen! Sorry for the messy photos but these are my first shots of the Japanese Bush-Warbler.
After that just a Safron Finch and the Red-Billed Leiothrix.

That last shot though. Wow.

Pie anyone? I've got 4 and 20 here.

Here is another from our safari in January. So glad we got that trip of a lifetime in before the pandemic.

 

[ISv]

That last shot though. Wow.

Thanks! Because it seems everyone likes the Leiothrix - here are few more (and old) photos. I'm sure I posted some of them before but since there are no new ones...

Beautiful shots, ISv. Well done!

The Robin really likes showing me what he has caught.
