After two month of about 90% dull and rainy weather- at least so it felt - this weekend and the last two days were the first for me to have the chance to go out again and look for some birds.
Maaan, how I missed taking my cam out and get some decent shots.
And look! What did I come across? A quite rare winter visitor:
A male brambling (fringilla montifringilla). I hope it got strong enough here to find its way back to Scandinavia soon
I needed heavy croping (orig. size just 1800x1200) and the ISO was at 1600+, but I am happy to get this sequence here.

Captured this American Coot today playing in the rain. Man, these guys have some long lizard toes!

Using the R5/100-500 the way it suits me best: 1000mm f/14 
Half-joking, I wonder if it's the same I posted in BIF thread. Both photos were taken at the same spot with about one and a half month difference. I decided to bring my R5/100-500 combo in addition to my D500(or D850)/500PF for these super FL limited shots.

"Man, these guys have some long lizard toes!" - they really do
! Not the same species but they are very similar concerning the toes!

Here some more common birds, though I couldn't get them in the past.
Again, I needed heavy croping (orig. size just 2100x1400). The ISO was below 800 this time.
A goldfinch and a chaffinch:

For the fun of it, I took out the RF 800mm f/11 (the one that is unusable 90% of the time 
), which was fortunate as a road was blocked and we went instead to another favourite spot and found that a Peregrine Falcon had started nesting over 60m from a path on a shaded ledge you have to know about. So, I put the 800 on with the 1.4xTC on the R5. Watch this space for the chicks.
