woodpecker

I heard a piercing call and observed a Northern Flicker in a tree, high above me.

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.

Northern Flicker - red-shafted

Downy Woodpeckers are small and quick.

Testing EF lens plus adapter on to R5

This tiny little Downy Woodpecker usually hops, spiraling up tree trunks hunting for bugs. Today he is a bit of an acrobat, hanging upside down from one foot as he forages. I had to be quick to photograph him.

I had fun trying out my 1.4 extender on of this female Northern Flicker. I am not sure why the extender does not show up in the metadata. I couldn't see it in Lightroom either. I wonder why.
