"El Cóndor Pasa" Nice shot, Alan.

Brings back great Pre-Covid memories - probably will never travel like that again.

Nice capture. The background is really complimentary to the shot.

I hope, you still will. Just feel young enough inside

An old one from years ago that came to my mind because of a remark in the BIF thread.
Old equipment back then:
5D2, 100-400L, @400mm, 1/1000, f/5.6, ISO400

I really like the water splash. Nicely done, Maximilian.

Nice and splashy! Green eyes are a sign of a mature male bird. Immature ones have dull grayish-bluish eyes.

The world has changed since

For you Alan:

The world didn't change that much - we changed in our perception of the world!
I just wonder if the change of our perception of the world maters anything to the world?!

Really nice series, Cog

Still overcast, still no sun. I'm starting to get a winter depression

First decent photos for a while, bad light, AF is doing anything but not what I want.
But I wanted to post them because I like the nuthatch with the moss.
Use your imagination and think about sharp eyes

Aw man, too bad about AF, the second one could have been really nice! I always get excited when I see one of those little guys, there is one across the street from where I work, but I have not yet managed to get close enough for a decent shot, let alone eye level like these ones.
Maybe I should bribe it with some choice kernels next time

Nice try, Maximilian. Better luck with the AF next time.

Nice pictures, Nemorino. What is that bird?

Nice pictures, Nemorino. What is that bird?

Looks like a coot or moorhen chick. If I had to guess, I'd say moorhen.

Thank you, Maximilian.

Great shots!

Can't say anything different from what Alan and Click did...
