And that fish it is dining on, a very tasty yellow perch. Great shots Alan!

Finally processing the second part of a business trip to UK and Belgium from March. I had a day to myself, so I hopped on a train to Bruge and did a city walk.

Birds of Bruge:


Then...what Bruge is a bit more famous for...the Swans.

A Dark-Eyed Junco might be common to you guys and gals in North America. But, I've only seen one once before, in 2014. This one was shot through the double-glazing on a very wet morning. Good old R5 and 100-500mm. Can't see the R5ii bettering this - I am looking for improvements in tracking eye-AF for BIF against difficult backgrounds.

I really like the low POV. Nicely done, Alan.

Nice shot, particularly through a window. We have lots of those little guys here. They even team up to make Christmas ornaments.

I post what I get, not always great but just good to be outside. Mu goal was to hit 150 species with pics this year. The Eastern wood peewee is 150

Gave the little cable guy some Topaz and PS love. Topaz does a real nice job on noise.

I Do have both. Since these are not great pics I did not put in the effort LOL

Or PL 6 Deep prime. I was really disappointed from PL 7 because it's mostly about the colors (well, for landscape photogs it should be nice...) - no change in terms of noise reduction/sharpening! On other hand it's very good as it is!

I really like your birds, especially the last two.

Bald Eagle on his lookout. R5 + RF 100-500mm + 2xTC @1000mm. If you can get a clean focus, the 1000mm beats in my hands the RF 200-800mm @ 800mm.
