birds

A rainy day always brings out the avians.

They're looking to break out

One of my two resident Wood Pigeons, seconds before there were two of them perched on the fence! Z6 + Z Nikkor s 85mm @ 1/25 f5.6 ISO110, heavy crop and some big adjustments.

Our ship was turned away from Cuba by the U.S. Government, so we spent a couple of days in The Bahamas. The zoo and gardens was over booked, so we walked the streets. This is how I knew I missed photographing birds. Even the pigeons started to look good.

With all the larger birds and gators, sometimes these little guys don’t get any love. #1 #2 #3

A6000 and 28-70mm

We have a stork's nest nearby. Yesterday the young ones got their ring. They were picked from their nest in two shopping bags. They lay like dead as protection. The gentleman of the foundation that does the ringing. ... and back in the bag, back to the nest. René.

Yet again the little Fuji comes good. XC 50-230 iso 4000 f 6.7 - 1/400 I still fancy the 100-400 though!

This one is my favorite, I just love the expression! And the way she is nibbling the leaf.

These little birds came to a bush outside my living room window one morning, and sat there waiting for Momma and Papa bird to bring them some food.
