Colin, thank you very much for your kind comments.
The photo is also an example that the statement is true: the best camera is the one you have with you. When I came back half an hour later with a ‘real’ camera, the farmer and the storks had already finished their work.
So let's not disrespect the smartphone :)

Jürgen,
I see some interesting birds in your image. Is it a Kite in the air? Storks was once a normal visitor across Denmark, but (also) in Denmark large areas of the wetlands has been drained and turned into agricultural areas - many as mono cultures. In 2022 9 breeding stork couples was observed in Denmark - in 2018, only two. Unfortunately, beautiful birds.

The photo is also an example that the statement is true: the best camera is the one you have with you. When I came back half an hour later with a ‘real’ camera, the farmer and the storks had already finished their work.

So let's not disrespect the smartphone :)

This is a great example :)

... your image reminded me of a recent shot of a similar scene - far from as interesting as your composition and great timing with the many birds.
I just liked the (panorama) of gulls lining up for some "fast food" - and now, watching your image, the lack of other bird species is maybe a bit discouraging.

Note: replaced with a more dusty one.. spring has been extremely dry this year :)

Lars, I really like your photo. The dust behind the tractor and the seagulls flying up - very nice. Definitely more birds than in my photo. Yes, there are kites in the air (I didn't realise that kite doesn't just mean a piece of sports equipment, but also a bird - in German it's called ‘Rotmilan’)
On the subject of storks: when I was young, there was only one stork's nest here in the village. In recent years, the number has risen to at least 20 nests. Above my balcony, the animal air traffic is now almost as dense as above Frankfurt Airport  :)

I fully agree
My smartphone is generally with me most of the time

My D500, much less so. When it is, it often has a 300mm & TC14 on it, taken for a specific purpose

I only occasionally use by proper monitor & computer to browse the NG forum (most of the time, I use an A4 size tablet)
When I do, I'm reminded of the high quality of many people's posts here. And that my Google Pixel 6 needs good conditions look good on a large screen

And yet I have an A1 sized print made from an uncropped pic from this smartphone that looks good at the intended viewing distance

Yes Lars, I too think this does look like a kite

Many thanks, Jürgen. Yes, it is a classic scene with great numbers of gulls lining up and flocking around tractors churning up the soil (replaced the image with a more dusty one.. spring has been extremely dry this year).
Same for me - for many years a Kite was those we played with as kids :) The 'Rotmilan' must be what is named 'Rød (rot) Glente' in Danish - luckily they are increasing in numbers from a very low population (and extinct 100 years ago). I envy your dense animal air traffic ;D especially with storks! In my childhood it was in the newspapers and tv when the stork (or few storks) arrived - sensation if/when the raised kids. It was estimated storks would become extinct in Denmark and I've read that after 2000 and until 2004 there were no breeding couples.

Yes Lars, I too think this does look like a kite

Many thanks for confirming, Colin  :)

Lars, this scene could just as easily be one from springtime in NZ or Australia.  Gulls seem to be the avian opportunists the world over!

The same here, in spring many gulls are gathering to eat during farming works
I also see more than 3 different bird species into the scene

And my IPhone is my (wide angle) everyday camera

Nasos - yes, and I think there is a Kestrel as well(?) 

A belated many thanks for your comments! - gulls, the avian opportunists, will probably outlive humans..  ;D
