Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Post-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 020

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This 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 071
Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Only 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 051

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Today'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 1122

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Waders 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 060
Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Today’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 3383

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I'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 040

In this record year the caterpillars are fairly easy to find on Bedstraws growing in sunny spots like walls and dunes. 211121
Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Today 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 091

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Watching 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 09314

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 11/07/2026People 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 050

Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 07/07/2026My 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 050
Ivan Nemec @ivannem.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The 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 2171
