Mandarin Ducks are not that common here and I hardly ever see them. Yesterday we chanced upon a pair (R5/1000mm)

I was on my way back home at sunset when I came past this wren.
ISO 3200 killed some detail but it was funny how it looked at me when it heard my DSLR.

Can’t get quite as close as some. Taken with the RP and the RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 with a bit of cropping to portrait orientation from an image captured in landscape. I was also forced to change the file size to upload (11.8 mb too large?)

By coincidence, this afternoon I got the first shots ever of the Wren who lives in the hedge in our back garden. He came out and perched on our cherry tree.

This Willet says there's nothing like feeding on some dead fish!

Very good photo and the fish is of impressive size!

Few shots from my weekend. No interesting birds (I have and posted to much of these already...) so I concentrated to the real portraits.

I suppose this is a female siskin. It was so kind to pose for me in bright sunlight.
From its behavior I thought of a juvenile first. But this would be much too early in the year.

Beautiful shots. Well done, guys.
