Nice work Fons - somehow I feel as if I am being watched.

The relationship of the blackbird to the thrush is fairly obvious in this juvenile.

Really close to this young bird with the Zf and Z105mm f/2.8S, i could have picked it up, I didnt. The next morning we found her dead.

The white wagtail is still busy delivering food for its chick.

So sad - nature is the ultimate numbers game.

BTW, another nice shot.

Am i missing something obvious Arturo?
Several images you've posted (both here and in other sections) have seemed noticeably darker than I'd have expected.

Hi Colin, it's about sunset. I tried to catch the flying insects; I think they're ants.

That’s a very good reason Arturo, but one of the most difficult thing to achive (my personal experience). Manny of us, seeing these swarms of bugs in the evening light want to registrate this, on whatever media avilable. I’ve tried, but have not yet been able to replicate my visual impressions. Keep on improving your skills and catch what you want to catch. This one’s a challenge
