Watching the White Terns: Started relatively early with the same result (baby is shy!). Later on I decided to go to the Zoo to chase the Dragons. When I came back to home - no parent, baby was kind of exposed!!!
If you think this little jerk was collaborating - nope! Shortly after the first series of shots (and it looked at +/-me!) it turned it's already famous back to me... The difference was that this time I had a room to go on the opposite site - just to see that attitude "I'm not going to look at you -never!).

Today it was only the "Cheerleader with pom-poms" (Common waxbill), Yellow-faced Canary and a House Finch with strange bill (no idea if it happen during the development or was broken later).

Hello everyone. I have been a reader of the forum for about six years now, having started a few months after I got my first DLSR, the Canon EOS 750D (a.k.a. T6i and X8i). I decided to join the forum, mostly to be able to view the beautiful pictures in threads like this one. Currently, I still use the 750D as my main camera, although I have owned and used the 6D and 5D III as well.
I mostly shoot cities, landscapes and astro, with bird and animal photography being some of my favorite genres, too.

Here is the first picture I would like to share with the forum. It was taken using the 5D III and the EF 70-300mm IS USM (non-L, Mark I).

Beautiful shot.

Welcome to CR and keep posting.

The RF 100-500mm with the 2xTC is really powerful. Here's just a crop of the head.

That's really impressive @ 1,000mm and the 2xTC. Great shot !

This Snowy Egret decided on a branch with all the trimmings.

Honestly I think it had a problem during the development: they are seed eaters and I can't imagine how it can brake it's bill. On other hand who knows (there are other factors not only the food...).

What a beautiful Teal!

"What a beautiful Teal" - especially on that background and the reflection! Awesome shot we have to agree! And the Egret building it's nest is very good too!

Great shots, ERHP.

First grey wagtail of the season.
This year they're very nervous and the flight distance is very high with 30+m.

Spent a couple of days inland a bit where it's colder and a little higher as it's a good time for Scarlet Robins.





And of course a female
