Indeed, that's how valuable it is to share the images of the local animals and plants among people from all over the world!

These images of the Japanese white-eye (Zosterops japonicus) were shot with a 50mm lens.  The frames were enhanced in ACR and then heavily cropped.

They are insectivorous birds, accustomed to humans.

Could be.  But it was still quite far from me, and I had to be careful not to be noticed.  The images are cropped literally heavily.  In order to capture the bird in this size on a full frame size sensor, I would have needed a 500mm lens.  Apparently, it was sucking honey from these Japanese plums in this case.

Thank you Nasos. Your shot in #1575 inspires me to try and capture our Red Wattlebirds in flight. Wattlebirds perform some amazing aerobatics to catch insects on-the-wing!

I love Green Woodpeckers Bruno

As every estate agent knows, a desirable location is an important feature of a property. High demand sometimes leads to disputes.

I hope you see them often, Colin. They are regular visitors here since their discovery of the many ants nests in the garden.

[Bruno Schroder]

Nice catch of an interesting behavior, Jurgen. You seem well placed to follow the evolution of the nest.
