It was 7. may, and they are white in the winter, so it is actually spring.

One more of the same bird, this time in company with its partner. The spruce in the background is just as small as it looks.

Werner, LOL!  Excellent idea and images!

Asle, I prefer the newest one.  The inclusion of the environment makes the image more vivid.

Tank you for the feedback. Because the first one is isolating the subject, and the second one is with enviroment, they are very different, and can work in different settings, so it is not necessery to prefer one over another. The last one is the one I was most uncertain about, so i am glad you like it.

Thank you, Akira.

The D500 with the 200-500 is my first "long" combination and makes fun. But most of the birds here are tiny and hide away in trees.

Here a "Tirili"  from my first "birding tour" (3h in the forest, I saw only this one bird ...).
