Beautiful series, ISv. I especially like the 2nd and 4th picture.

For this one I had to go 2500m above the see level in 2019! And my photos are just fraction of the quality of yours (the bird didn't want to collaborate!).
I wish I had beaches like yours!And some from today - went to a beach park mostly for the walk. Fortunately my pocket size combo (D500 + 500mm PF) was with me. The birds are not interesting but I like the low level photos of the Pacific Golden Plover, especially the one with the red ring from a parked car in the far background.
The Night Heron? - Just to show I can take also a "high level" photos (just trying to incorporate a second layer in my humor!)!!!
On other hand you shoot what you have in front of you (the alternative is not to shoot at all - not my coffee!).

Dunnock today. R5 + RF100-400mm, iso 4000, 1/320s.
Thanks Click! For really "nice done" it needs more open aperture: the bright spots would be more buttery! I'm learning!Nice. Well done, ISv.
Well, I would like to shoot in the nature you have like "given" - what is common for one is kind of precious for others! And I'm pretty sure you know it!I wish I had beaches like yours!
Even so, if I had the choice of photographing birds at the North Pole or on the equator (Ecuador), I know what I would choose, especially in December.Well, I would like to shoot in the nature you have like "given" - what is common for one is kind of precious for others!

Sorry Alan - I just forgot that it's a ~winter for some guys!
Even at the very North Pole, night without any twilight lasts only 11 weeks, and there can be moonlight. But, that's not enough light to tempt me there.December at the north pole? You're going to need a ton of dynamic range to separate coal-black backgrounds from coal-black birds. If any are there for the 6 month night!
To say nothing of the fact that I can't imagine any birds would actually be there.Even at the very North Pole, night without any twilight lasts only 11 weeks, and there can be moonlight. But, that's not enough light to tempt me there.
What birds would you see in summer?To say nothing of the fact that I can't imagine any birds would actually be there.
The high arctic land (more likely bogs) during summer is a completely different story.
I'm not a birder, but I'm sure on general principles that some birds are up there in the High Arctic during summer. Taking a quick look, here's a link to an article talking about birds of the arctic.What birds would you see in summer?
