birds

This pair of young kestrels are waiting for a parent bird to bring some grub!

A fledgling Kestrel has just had its Breakfast brought to it by a parent bird. Three young Kestrels in total were on the Barn roof but wouldn't come together for a group shot.

Great to see them making a return to various parts of the UK now. these are in Merseyside and seem to be doing well.

Captured this starling during my morning walk at the harbor.

Heron flew onto my property. Not sure what kind of Heron this is. If someone knows, please reply. R6 MkII - RF 100-500.

I wish he was sitting on a tree branch instead of the harbor light. R6MII & RF 100-500

Taken with r5 and Sigma 60-600mm, hand held. Location was Anahuac NWR near Winnie, TX.

Sitting in very calm water, these stilts were enjoying their morning. Taken at Anahuac NWR near Winnie, TX. r5 with 60-600mm Sigma set to 600mm.

Great egret in flight, shot in the Champ-Pittet Nature Reserve on the Lake of Neuchâtel (CH).

Yesterday's last shot ...

It's real sports to shoot them speedy martins :-)

You can imagine my yesterday’s surprise, when I had a 20 second long encounter with this subsaharian-Africa based bird in a Nature Reserve on the Lake of Neuchâtel (CH).

Found in the Fanel Nature Reserve (CH).

A few days ago in the Fanel Nature Reserve (CH) there was heavy air traffic (cormorants&crows), when a dark silhouette of unfamilair (for me) shape traversed the other birds in a straight line. Hardly time to lift my R7+RF100-500, to locate the bird and to take a few shots before the bird was gone.
