Tiny female Sunbird,s view of the world
Love the D500, 70-200 f2.8 G Vr  II.  Now wishing I had bought the new version instead of the Batis 135 f2.8.  The version II is a good lens but hate the focus breathing for these type of shots.  Many images and very high percentage sharp,  The pair is building a nest at the moment just in front of a veranda but in the shadows .   Big crop, the orig. vertical is too big for here.  Just a bit of fun.   Sony a7rii, FE 70-200 cannot get these shots for me but the Df 70-200 f4 vr can  :)

   Thanks Hans

   Stunning shot Tom.  Very, very nice, had me hypnotized. Beautiful composition with delicate rendition and some magic thrown in; the surprising upside down position caught me. Creative view of a freethinking bird :)

I do not think these Common Kestrels are adults. There were at least three in the same area, probably siblings.

Shot today in the middle of the urban area of Tokyo.

Reminds me of "Die Dohle" by Hermann Hesse.
"The eye is blind if the mind is absent." - Confucius

"Limitation is inspiration." - Akira
