Post-recovery birding trip today: 25 km round trip by bike to a local gravel pit, then a few hours in a bird hide photographing waders in flight. Harsh midday light, and birds keeping 20-30 m away. Still, I managed a few shots of these (possibly) Ruffs. #photography #birds

Saint Wenceslas Cathedral, Olomouc A bit surprised by what the old 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens and the E-P7 managed to deliver. #photography #nightphotography

Just had a lovely week in Fuerteventura and managed to see a view birds while we were there, like this Egyptian Vulture. @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social 🪶

This morning a Grey Heron allowed me to approach carefully and spend some time watching it hunt along the shallow parts of the Morava river. The highlight was a funny territorial dispute with a much smaller Mallard duck, which seemed convinced the heron shouldn't be there. #birds #photography

Only a very quick birding stop today at a remote pond. Someone had dumped a huge pile of seeds at the only observation point. As they fermented and warmed up, they attracted lots of grass snakes. Only regulars seen, but remarkable session spent encircled by snakes :) #birds #snakes #photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #BestOfTheMonth. I chose this White-tailed Ptarmigan I met off trail near the Athabasca Glacier. Its camouflage was so effective I almost stepped on it. Fortunately, it was not shy so I could took some pics even with 100mm lens. #birds

Waders and plovers are among my favourite birds to photograph, so I was pretty excited when I spotted this Killdeer at Emerald River in British Columbia. #birds #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Simple; any bird against a simple background Presumably a Lesser Scaup resting on the remarkably emerald waters of Emerald Lake, British Columbia. #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #NaturePhotography

Stellar jays were funny companions during hikes in Banff and Jasper National Parks. Always curious and usually carrying some kind of snack. #birds #photography

I'm really enjoying Calgary and how much nature is woven into the city. Spent this late evening at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, watching these birds settle in as the light faded. #birds #photography

Hummingbird Hawk Macroglossum stellatarum emerged 830 am yesterday 36 days since egg laid 630 pm 17 June at Quince Honey Farm, South Molton, Devon - an amazingly quick life cycle. In this record year the caterpillars are fairly easy to find on Bedstraws growing in sunny spots like walls and dunes.

Today I was experimenting with very slow shutter speeds (1/125-1/250 s) at an 800 mm full-frame equivalent. Juvenile redstarts made excellent subjects, posing calmly just before sunset. #birds #photography

Watching the sand martins care for their young was fascinating. What looks like chaos at first glance is actually a highly efficient feeding machine, with adults constantly arriving and departing from their nesting burrows. #photography #birds

People on YouTube often say that, apart from skill, the lens matters more than the camera body. I tend to agree. These macro shots were taken by my 9-year-old daughter with a 15-year-old tiny Olympus E-PL2 (12Mpx) and an Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens. #photography #macro

My favourite butcher bird. Red-backed Shrikes are everywhere at my usual meadow spots at the moment, busy feeding their fledglings. Smaller passerines seem scarcer now, probably because they are keeping their chicks away from this predator. #birds #photography

The golden oriole has been one of my most elusive birds. For a long time, I only caught brief flashes of yellow in the canopy. Today I finally found them feeding on cherries and managed to get a few photographs. #birds #photography
