Went out yesterday to shoot with the 7d2 as it will be the last time it runs as my primary camera. From next week it will be used in a dual setup with the R6. I am definitely looking forward to the new kit but I got all nostalgic so despite the poor conditions with heavy cloud and no decent light I went anyway. Some nice shots, some....meh, but pretty happy overall. Top to Bottom. Masked Lapwing. White fronted Chat. Splendid Wren. Chat again. Dusky swallow I think. Pied oyster catcher x3.

Longtailed Tits are among my favourite garden birds. And here is one I took earlier this year. They don't come to bird feeders with seeds as their beaks are too tiny. I read that they will eat from fat balls. But, we are plagued with squirrels who get through most squirrel-proof feeders. So, I rigged up a fat feeder in that was meant to be squirrel proof inside another cage, and this morning it was successful in attracting a flock, with no less than six feeding simultaneously. (The squirrels are able to slide off the lid of the green inner feeder if it not thus protected.)

I am not sure but I think the last one was courting behaviour. The two of them were running around like that for a couple of minutes. So either courting or a raucous disagreement.

Well, I know that feeling: The Cardinal that I posted on the previous page was taken with my old lens - I already suspected it will be substituted by the new one as grab and go lens. Not because I will not use the zoom when in need for shorter focal lengths but it's not the same as before.
Here some photos of hand-holding the new lens. Tried this with the old lens few times and gave up.
The Bulbul on the second photo looks partially leucistic!

Looks like a competition "Who will find the first oyster (or whatever else)" or may be "Synchronized Oyster catching"?!
Well, most probably a courtship but it doesn't sound THAT interesting

I don't think you failed - after some research I found what means "... to embellish just a wee bit" (Sorry but English is not my prime language
)!So, the bottom line is that I failed to understand exactly what you are saying. Now I understand what you did: you was just keeping the joke going.
Anyway - I learned something new, thanks!
