These are from today: windy (~28mph sustained and up to 40 in the gusts) -it's hard to frame or simply avoid a leafs/branches getting between the object and the lens. If I was Pro I would avoid shooting in these conditions - most probably! I'm just trying to get some experience for such conditions and it's a drop by drop (and I believe it will pay in the future...)

I really like the color tone in this.

Thanks! It is mostly the actual lighting from the scene. I was surprised how little I ended up editing in terms of color.

It's a Firecrest, similar to a Goldcrest as here: https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/threads/show-your-bird-portraits.1280/page-1355#post-952979

Thank You!
The German names are even more related: Your's a Wintergoldhähnchen, mine is called Sommergoldhähnchen.

I'm not sure if it's the same bird. There was a bunch of stilts trying to be the king of the mountain. They just loved that spot and that pose.

And that even though they have such long legs that those look almost like photoshoped

Great collection, but...

Argh! Put that little owl away. It's too cute...

Super nice, super sharp. Incredible, what ISO 12,800 can do...

Really nice colours and sharpness

Two from yesterday: nothing interesting from the birds so I just decided to take few shots in low light conditions. On not really stable tripod (well, the tripod is top but situated on very unstable ground...). ISO 2000, f 8.0 and speeds: for the first one 1/80s, the second is 1/100s ...
Off course you don't expect quality photos at these conditions (espetially with crop camera!) but they should work for documentation/eventually for ID.
BTW: I found the new basic sharpening in PL6 (+1) a little bit to much for these light conditions (they just look non natural!). Decreasing the microcontrast didn't help... These are at +0.55 and look somewhat better (and still not what I want). Anyway - this is what I got yesterday. Today it was worst -I got nothing from the birds!
