A lots of really nice and interesting pictures, folks.

Bjørn, you really have a way of "seeing" things, impressive and inspiring!

This one is from one of the mountains in Rogaland, Norway; eagle sailing on the wind.

Not my normal gear for birding  ;) and not fast action  :)

EM1, 40-150 2.8 w/tc1.4 handheld.... Female Sunbird
Just for fun.... the Migrants have started arriving and yesterday spotted a Falcon. This morning shot a Harrier hunting and a Booted Eagle.  No sign of an Osprey  >:(

Terje, great Blackbird image
Fanie, cool image, Kestrel???

Seems like I should sell my long lens, somebody else can definitely use it better!

Fanie, the Drongo and Lanner are great, was the Lanner at Dullstroom BOP?

Tersn, great blackbird!

Bob Friedman, your work blows me away.

A very very seldom seen bird in my garden - I think I might have seen it less than 10 times in 30 years. Hardly managed to get this before it went on its way - hence the quality

They are sacred ibis (Black and whites)

the rarely seen bird is a waxbill. I am not sure how rare it is - but it is rare at my house for sure. tiny little thing

I normally have to look for these in the hottest part of the day since they feed from late morning until 1PM.  This one was passing through my pool area, for a bath, in the late afternoon  :)

Venus Flycatcher
D750, 80-400 afs, handheld at approx. 8 mtrs.   ISO 3200, 1/500, total shade.  Light is from NIK  ;)

I did get a fun image with tons of motion blur at iso 5000
