Thanks!
Rename your "Black-crowned Night Heron"! You have the Green Heron instead!

Ah, you got me! Don't know what I was thinking. Thanks. I have pictures of both just got mixed up. Getting older is my excuse lol.

Here's another one

Black-crowned Night Heron (Juvenile)

Click I know you know the Black-crowned Night Heron. It was the reason how I started my comment (Click You too?!). Whatever, sometime ago I told myself stop comment on the ID - it's a photographic forum but this time didn't resist

We all are getting older and at least for me I don't see way back. On other hand if we still posting here we are not old enough, no?

Zitting Cisticola. The top one taken by my wife using the R7+RF 100-400mm and the lower one by me with the R5 + RF 100-500mm. We were sitting side by side in the hide and my view was slightly obscured so I could get a clear shot only when it was looking to the left. These are heavy crops and show how well the R7 + RF 100-400mm performs.

For ~11cm bird ~6 meters are very respectful distance. Nice photos and cute bird (I like warblers...)

Here is the full frame before cropping. I calculated the size of the Cisticola from the size of the image on the R7 and the 400mm focal length and it came to 11.9cm!

Damn it - I was wrong (without calculations) with 9mm - shame on me!
On other hand I did write ~11cm . Any way nice shot of bird that I have to see!

And my only bird from today. I have no idea which of these are more abundant here: the feral chicks or these doves

You did write "~", and I thought 11.9 was in nice agreement with the "approximate" sign! You weren't wrong at all.

The dove looks great with this lovely bokeh.

WOW!
I hope it could swallow that pike. To choke on it would be a shame.

No worries!

Since we seem to be on a Heron streak, I captured this one playing a bit of game of Tug-of-War!
