Yesterday I managed to go in a place where my favorite birds-Bee eaters- are nesting :)
Colors everywhere!
I made some shots but not so satisfied, I was strangled to AF with Z 8/ 180-600 for some reason >:(

Fun approach, Thomas. That's what art is all about: creating new things from something. The black guy could be me or any of us here. In some ways, Birna is a pioneer in photography.

Good shots Nasos, I like bee-eaters. One of the birds is carrying a cicada in its beak

Me too it’s one of my favorite!
This year I didn’t had the chance to find a good place to shoot >:( until last Saturday
Yes there is a cicada on the beak, as we stayed some time in the place we show a lot of insects catched by them.
