@[email protected] how awesome. Glad you experienced some wonderful nature with your weekend…
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] yeah, here in UK swallows are known as Barn Swallows, i guess due to their love of outbuildings. If you have a shed, leave a window removed, you’ll probably get swallow nesting if you have them in the area
@[email protected] yeah, those small uplifted feathers on it head…😀
@demiguru i’m kneeling down at my patio door, the birds are 4 meters from me…
we have worked hard to make are garden a safe environment for birds, they are not bothered by me of my family, they will happily land on the grass even if I am in the garden

@[email protected] I love them, great little birds. I have a collection of them here: https://jimhowardbirt.com/just-long-taileds

@[email protected] nice. Not so hard for me, I think we just have the one kind of Buzzard here in UK. (Happy to be corrected)
@[email protected] that’s nice. I get loads of kites simular to that. One day you’ll catch one lower and in perfect light and the result will be magic. I take 100’s of photos, and only keep a small number of them. The more you go out and take photos, the more opportunities you’ll get to see wonderful birds in different situations. Now and then you’ll get one that is perfect.
@[email protected] thanks.
this one i took using burst fire (20 shots per second). Burst gives me a better chance of getting the birds eye in focus. My kit is a professional level body with 46 mega pixels (the more pixels, better the detail). But for me, a long lens is key, I use a 600mm f.6.3 prime, bringing the birds closer to me and meaning I can keep my distance from the subject.
@[email protected] It’s a permanent hide, just a few miles from where I live, so I spend a lot of time there (and the other hide at this location)

@[email protected] I’m sat in a hide some 40 metres away. It was unaware we were there. The rabbits come even closer, and as long as we stay quiet, they are not bothered by us either
@kolombiken taking photos of birds is wonderful, sharpness is not essential. I have to travel to see them, cos I have none anywhere near me. Always like to see them.
