And my contribution from today: Red-whiskered Bulbul ruffled by the wind (windy again here but it's pretty much normal...). And my loved White-rumped Shama:
1. Look what I got!
2. The last piece is the best (by far!!!).
3. Since I'm done with the meal (and you didn't still it from me!) I can pose for you (and I'm patient at least for 4-7 seconds!!!)

I've probably spent too much time observing this Loggerhead Shrike since it arrived for the winter. Converted to B&W as the sky behind it was covered in fog.

Beautiful pictures, guys. I really like your shots.

This is not a good photo, apart from the fortunate composition, taken through double-glazing and was over in an instant. But, it is one for the record: a female Bullfinch, European Goldfinch and a Greenfinch all together in my garden!

Not the best of your photos (you posted here way better pics) but you have 3 (three!) species with just one shot! Time to time I succeed the same... with insects!

This is a female hairy woodpecker, better half of the couple with the male shown in the previous post. Both of them were on same tree, just on the other side of the trunk.

Nice shots, ISO64.

Just a tiny shot to show what you can get out of the R5 sensor. It's been terrible weather here and in the drizzle I could see a small bird hopping inside a bare tree, surrounded by twigs, 15m away. The plus of the EVF is that it lightens the scene so I could make out the bird, a female Chaffinch. Considering this bird is only 600px long and the gloom needed iso5000 and f/4 at 1/400 s and 400mm, it's a pretty clean shot. This would have needed iso16000 for my f/7.1 100-500mm.

Beautiful series. Well done, Fredster.

The sun shone this morning and so it was a covid-lockdown-compatible walk with the 1.4xTC on the 100-500mm and R5 at 700mm, iso 1250, f/10 and 1/500s for a Blue Tit who perched for just a few seconds. I used point focus with this complicated background as I had to be quick. No way the lens and TC are being sent back.

Very nice shot, Alan.

Very nice shot Alan! Are the long tail Tits in your area as well? The Great Tits are also very beautiful .

The Longtailed Tits are here but I haven't got a close up this year yet. Here is a tiny shot of a distant one take on Friday with the 400mm DO II on the R5 and a nice close up of a Great Tit from the 100-400mm II on the R5 earlier at iso 8000.

Here's another one, a Coal Tit from yesterday. I rarely see these tiny birds and it was in my apple tree, and I had to shoot it through ugly double glazing. Also, I was testing the 5DSR and it was so gloomy that it needed iso 6400 and f/4. This is a 100% crop from the centre, OK for the record.
