Very nice series, cooldood.

I studied Latin at school a couple of centuries ago but don’t recall Milvus. Nice photos of a Red Kite.

I don't think Milvus has meaning in Latin but he didn't put the scientific name of the bird. And photos are pretty good!
Roter Drachen?

Today I was aimed to my favorite spot for dragonflies (closest to my house, otherwise I have few better spots on the Island). Stopped also at my spot for easy small birds. Just the commons - as one can (100%) expect...

"Milvus is a genus of medium-sized birds of prey. The genus was erected by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède in 1799 with the red kite as the type species. The name is the Latin word for the red kite.

Milvus - Wikipedia"​

I don't recall it in my vocabulary when I was having to translate De Bello Gallico a lifetime ago but we live and learn.

Really lovely shots wherever they are posted. I'd like to combine the threads anyway.

Instead of BIF, these are BOF, Bird On Flowers, close enough.

Thanks Alan! You just save me some work: I was going to delete them here and post in the "Portraits"!

Have you upsized it using Topaz Enhance or Gigapixel?

No is the original size. On my bike rides I always take the small equipment R6 and RF 100-400 with TC 1.4 with me.
The kite had been looking for prey on a freshly mowed meadow and came very close.

I do the equivalent on the bike with either the R7 and RF 100-400mm, or the R5 + RF 100-500mm on a strap.

Caught this swallow feeding its young. City of Rocks, ID. Taken with the R5 and 70-200 f/2.8. I regretted not bringing the 100-500, there turned out to be a lot of birds in the park.

Ok I know gulls are not that exciting but....

And a few terns
