I really like this shot. The wing almost touches the water.

Yes, foda.

"foda" is Portuguese for "awesome" or sh*t, and it was queried by @esimioni who is from Brazil. I didn't know the meaning but as it was queried, I googled it!

I hope click is a correct word in Portuguese.

....or in any other language.

Snapped this cardinal as he was taking off to grab some bird seen in the snow. Love all the snow between me and him, combined with the direction of the sunlight, giving this a dreamy look.

R1, RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L @ 500mm, f/7.1, 1/2000s, ISO 1600.

Lovely with the snow.

Welcome to CR.

The vultures are (not yet) circling.

That's a very nice shot. The bird is all in focus, with beautiful details in the feathers.

Excellent shot.

Well done, Alan.

The opposite in size and speed of the Greylag - a Skylark in full flight (not hovering). I had set the RF 200-800 to 600mm on the R5ii, and it picked out from the background. Tiny crops with minimal processing. The lens is very sharp at 600mm.

Well done, Alan! The second one is so perfect.

Buteo buteo.

I really like that sun under one wing while the other is in the shadow.

Wonderful sharpness and that fun point, that the wing tip is touching the water. Great Robert!
