Nice one, but a western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) not the famous Lagopus lagopus (ptarmigan).

The dogs keep getting teased by an American grouse variant, the Ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus).

traces of feral pigeon trying to enter closed window. There was no body on the ground. I think she got away with a bad headache.

A rare sight here in the UK

This pair moved onto our local lake a couple of months ago. They don't mix with the white swans and are somewhat elusive.

Thanks Nasos, I also think that Jürgen's pigeon imprint is very special.

Thanks Nasos and Øivind,

The honor goes to my wife. She discovered the imprint early in the morning in flat sunlight. I was the photo technician who took the picture.

A very common bird in the UK, but this guy was quite close as I walked past.
Almost like he was deciding whether to let me go further up the path :)

Nice shots Juergen and Colin :) (is it D500/ 300pf?)
Since I have no laptop for the next couple of weeks, here are some remaining photos on my IPad
Full frame and crop: some tests with z8/ 180-600 unedited just cropped.
