Spent several weeks in Florida visiting family and while I never made it out to any of the NWR's or parks, still found some interesting subjects. This White Eyed Vireo emerged onto a fairly open branch for a quick look around.

Miserable light today, heavy cloud. A Green Woodpecker liked my rough "lawn" so I grabbed some shots with the RF800 on the R5 through double glazing at iso 12,800 and 1/250s. An initial processing through PL5 followed by a round of Topaz Denoise gave a reasonable image. A bit later I came across a Little Egret on a small pond by a cycle path. Here, the 100-500mm at f/7.1 at 1/250s and iso 4000 needed no extra denoising.

I am lucky to live close to a regular and healthy population of these wonderful little Firecrest. Every spring, before the foliage takes over I got out and get a few shots. Sadly the population in the UK has dropped massively in the last 40 years, but they thrive at this spot.

Lovely shots. I've seen them only once or twice, our tiniest birds.

Today I went to shoot interesting plant at UH campus. If I was strictly after birds this little fellow will never pop up on such a background :)! I didn't have the time to change the settings - I was shooting the plant, just changed the focus point and adjusted in PP. Windy!!!

Went to Fishers Green down the road in Essex today for the Smews. Saw them but not got the best of shots. Also found this amazing silver wood duck. Never seen one before. Almost ended up swimming with it while trying to get low to the water for a shot. A heart in mouth moment. Also got a portrait of a cormorant. Such amazing eyes in good light.
