Finer details in the feathers are well defined. Nicely done, Paolo.

Another kingfisher, but sooooo far away

At least you managed to photograph it. I have been trying for years with our Belted kingfisher without success. Well done, Maximilian. Beautiful bird.

The flowers really add to this!

A juvenile red-footed falcon today. My first time trying the 800mm for birds in flight - keeping it in the frame was a challenge when it got close, but the autofocus on the R6 is very impressive to my DSLR-accustomed mind! f/11 (of course!), 1/2000, ISO 800.
