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 · 26/08/2026I think I see what you mean. The pic was shot close to midday under the direct light, all colours are washed out significantly. But anyways, even sooner, water in the lake appeared more bluish than truly emerald 🤷🏻 note: the haze is most probably from wildfires 100
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 · 24/08/2026I believe that it is because of the fine rock particles grinded by the glaciers, as they scatter sunlight in the water. Similar colour has Lake Louise, which was. originally named emerald lake, too 100
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 · 17/08/2026greetings from Calgary! i met my first northern flicker :) So obviously it brought our discussion to my mind. It was close to sunset so the light was not best but I saw two of them and one was posing a bit 010

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
