Pied Wagtail (sub-species with White Wagtail) this afternoon hunting Mayflies this afternoon for its chicks.

I know the first one is by far more difficult and it scores in that aspect + pose!!! The second one is more of my taste but is much easier so, I'm divided.
Great shots any way! And what is priceless in this forum: education! - honestly I didn't know about this subspecies! Right now I found it's predominant in your area?
What bothers me is the thing that I see at ~1 a clock (on the background of that pinkish triangle of the second shot). It seems to be on your sensor. You may need to take care of it if it doesn't go away after self-cleaning of the sensor!

The background is the surface of of the pond, not the sky, and the pink is from that.

Family grey goose has lost one chick. The remaining two have grown fast.

I went back to where I got a Pied Wagtail a couple of days ago, armed this time with the R7 + RF 1000-500mm, and got instead a Grey Wagtail. I also got some wonderful examples of rolling shutter, which I will post.

Maximilian and Alan,

Nice shots, guys!

Managed to get some shots of what I think is a female Black-chinned Hummingbird. Please correct me, if wrong.

IMO, the first one with the tongue out is the funniest.
The second is the best, with the sun in the face and the blue sky behind it.

Thanks, Maximilian! Yeah, the tongue shot was funny. I didn't know that was captured until I reviewed on the computer
