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

Nice shots  Fons and Jürgen :) :)

Any time I see swallows flying, is an opportunity for me :)   this time was flying low above a grass football field, even I had 500 pf + 1.4 TC III the Z8 succeed 8)

Its the first time that used Studio NX 1.8  (Slow) to process the raw file before convert to TIF to import Topaz Denoise   and then Jpg and I have to say its good 8)

Thank you

Thank you Bent I had a lot of sessions failing to get a good photo  ;D
I didn’t know that it exists but this dot sight can help you track fast flying birds better than see through Viewfinder
I think I have to try one :)
