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)!

Me too! But it was an easy shot! To track the Munias jumping between the grass was by far more difficult.I love the second shot!
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).A yellow-legs sandpiper and a wood duck couple and on a cloudy day. (EOS R5 + RF100-500 + 2X TC)

I really like the Munias. As you know, I’m very fond of small birds.Me too! But it was an easy shot! To track the Munias jumping between the grass was by far more difficult.
Handsome predator, who is too fond of small birds. Very nice shots.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.

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