Yesterday hot and the usual birds for that location: Red-billed Leiotrix, Japanese white-eye and immature White-rumped Shama.
Today different location. I'm still trying to get the Chestnut Munia out of the grass for better posing - very shy in the grass and once on the branches it scores 10 out of 1to10 scale for shy! I got that one so close because it was in deep shade and probably feeling secure (f6.3, ISO 3200, 1/500s at -1EV correction - compensated in PP). The Common Wax-bill is by far friendlier...

A Sardinian warbler singing on Mallorca.
But not for me, but for his girl (last two photos).

Nice! I was never able to get a decent shot of a Sardinian Warbler in Mallorca when we were there 3 years ago. Where did you get this one?

In the dunes directly in front of my hotel at Platja de Muro. Let's say, I almost fell over those. Pure luck
But I had to get up early, 6 to 7 a.m. As soon as the joggers and the first beach tourists appeared, those little fellows hid in the undergrowth.

We stayed about 8 km north of there and saw one on a nature reserve. My wife got a shot using the RF 100-400 on the R7, but just for the record.In the dunes directly in front of my hotel at Platja de Muro. Let's say, I almost fell over those. Pure luck
