Great shot, Click! We’ve a a pair with the same name up here. We’ve watched them converse with each other while on tree branches though.

Great shots, ISv - balanced lighting & lots of sharp detail & blurry backgrounds!Kind of wasted day - went out to get more photos (from better angle - if it can help with the ID of the Plover posted the last time). Instead there was a group of people there + two dogs. I just hope the Plover is not on it's way further South (Australia?!) and will return lately (they use to be territorial).
Instead got photos of two Cattle Egrets: first one clean and boring and the second one muddy but funny! After that Scaly-breasted Munia: They knew I'm there for a while but got scared by a girl with a tiny dog behind of me (I believe she stopped there just to check what the hell I'm taking photos of
- that was the end of the session - I already needed some cold beer
)!

A yellow-legs sandpiper and a wood duck couple and on a cloudy day. (EOS R5 + RF100-500 + 2X TC)

Me too! But it was an easy shot! To track the Munias jumping between the grass was by far more difficult.

Good photos but why Yellow legs (which one particularly?) - there are other sandpipers with an yellow legs... I would check for the Solitary Sandpiper (it also can have an yellow, not always greenish legs).

I was on the moor close to a pond for birds. This way I was able to photograph this sparrowhawk that has just taken a water bath.

Handsome predator, who is too fond of small birds. Very nice shots.

Thank you Alan. This female stayed for a long time and the little birds did indeed stay away. Earlier in the day I saw a sparrowhawk catch a great tit. Very impressive.
