And the last for now, from quite a distance - a pair of Eurasian spoonbills
Unfortunately it was not possible to get lower, closer to the water surface; to capture their reflection in the wet sand and pools better...
R5 with 100-400L IS II at 400mm, 1/1600s f/6.3 ISO250

Thank you very much.
Very nice pictures. I especially like the Black Tailed Godwit and Common Redshank.

.Here is my version of what you are saying: "John 15:13 (King James version in Alan F. interpretation)".

If you can close the distance it will give you more opportunities to play with the other factors! You have a lot of disturbed air between the lens and the object (not only for this photo)! Don't take me wrong - it's just very friendly remark!
Well, I know by experience that it's not easy but hey! - see what an advise Alan send to me above
(I'm not prepared for this - yet!). Getting wet is better than getting... whatever, I don't want to say it!Whatever - I'm really happy you started posting in this topic again! As I recall you was the very first person to respond to my very first posting in Canon rumors!

Hi Chig.
Nice shots.
I didn’t see an answer to your question. As far as I know there isn’t a separate thread, but there are shots from really wide to proper head shot portraits here, so I’d say go ahead, post them how you like them!
Cheers, Graham.

Hi ISv, you're completely right - but I was too chicken to cross a barbed wire and walk on quick sand to get close enoughIf you can close the distance it will give you more opportunities to play with the other factors!

Here's a photo of Jarli the Australasian Barn Owl I took at the Wingspan Trust in Rotorua , New Zealand
This place rescues and releases birds of prey back into the wild and is well worth a visit if you ever come to New Zealand https://www.wingspan.co.nz/
They have a flying display most days where they exercise the birds using falconry techniques to get them fit to release back into the wild.

Here's a male Kea I shot at Paradise Valley Springs wildlife park in Rotorua , New Zealand which is another great place to visit. https://www.paradisev.co.nz/
Keas are the only alpine parrot in the world living in the high country of our South Island and are one of the most intelligent birds in the world possibly because of the extreme environment they have to cope with above the snowline.
