Wildlife Photography: Some Birds

Have I told you that I am also a wildlife photographer?

Wildlife Photography: Birds

Haha, nono, don't believe me because I'm too impatient to be a wildlife photographer and all wildlife photos I take are nice surprises when a bird or another animal is kind enough to pose for me, but most of them are faster gone than I can decide whether I should take a photo or not ... I can you hear laughing Zac / @papilloncharity 🤣

So let's begin...

In March 2022 I have been on a short trip to Grado in Italy where I have photographed a sunrise that didn't really happen. On my way back home I saw a few birds in the distance and these are the only somewhat usable photos I could take: to the left you can see a Grey Heron and the bird to the right is a beautiful Great Egret.

It was a rainy day in the beginning of April 2022 when I decided to take a short walk in a little nature reserve nearby home. I have never been there before and was happy to see quite a few birds, although most of them have seen me first and escaped before I really saw them 😂
But I could take photos of a Blue Tit, a Cormorant and a Great Crested Grebe.

Bird of the Sky

Bird of the sky,
How does it feel to dart and fly,
How does it feel to soar all day
"Over the hills and far away"?

To live in a tree,
To build a house as fine as can be,
To build it safe, and warm, and high,
And call it home - bird of the sky?

To perch and sing,
Up there where the leaves are quivering,
Singing and winging and building high,
How does it feel - bird of the sky?

by Annette Wynne

Great Crested Grebe

Good thing about being there in the rain was that I have had the completely area for me alone, and this was a wonderful surprise that I enjoyed a lot.

At the end of April 2022, I have visited the Šunikov vodni gaj / Šunik water grove in Slovenia and noticed a little bird at the Lepena river: a White-throated Dipper. I know I have already posted about this little diver, but I have taken some more photos of it which I don't want to just archive and forget.

And at the end of this post I have one more photo of the Cormorant I have already shown above. He was quite a bit further away, but I like this image somehow ... a lonesome Cormorant sitting on a dead tree, waiting ...

Do you know the legal name of @themarkymark ???? It is needed to contact his local police station. Any information to his whereabouts would be much appreciated.

Even from afar, you have captured beautiful poses. I made such an inference from the name that these birds are fed by eating fish. I wanted to ask frankly

You're right, most of these birds, except the Blut Tit, get their food from the water - they eat fish and other seafood.

Hahaha, very funny my friend and some lovely shots here.
To get that tiny Eurasian Blue Tit a bit closer you have to creep up on
him.
But in your case if he sees a police officer creeping up on him, then he will fly away 🤣 !LOLZ

Here is a cousin of the Blue Tit that I got today.

Enjoying solitude at waters edge, bird life sitting on high or floating around, times like this are rewarding to photographer.

Great-crested grebe along with white-throated dipper two birds we do not see.

Never alone, plenty of life wherever one looks!

Oh! The wild birds you found are lovely and you took great pictures of them.

I especially like the Eurasian Blue Tit. It seems as if he or she looked directly at you with his or her amazing eyes.

"a lonesome Cormorant sitting on a dead tree, waiting...." --- good caption! This well describes the picture! Great shot! 🙂

Actually, the Blue Tit was following me or at least it seemed so 😉 When then I took my camera he (or she) posed nicely and after I finished shooting he flew away and I haven't seen him again 😁

Thanks so much kindly for the nice words you have found for my photos and that you like the cormorant title, @tangmo 😊

These are wonderful captures of the birds, Hannes. Nice you got a picture of the gray heron. I’ve only seen the blue heron here. The blue tit is a cute looking bird. The cormorant and the tit each strike a lovely pose in the trees. The second photo of the tit makes me smile. 😊

Wishing you a wonderful Frigg’s Day and coming weekend, dear Hannes. 🤗 ☀️

And here's another one she wanted to pose for you .... And they're very cute ...🥰

Maybe you should consider photographing the wilderness ...😉

Oh no, I prefer plants and waterfalls, sometimes a little butterfly or other insect, but birds are much too fast for me and I am much too impatient 😂
But thank you so much kindly for your nice words, dear @Suzana72, and hope your Sunday was wonderful as well 🤗🌞

You know, the nature around me is enough for me. If I get to the water, it's a real pleasure, and when I get to the waterfall, I'm thrilled ...🥰
I can't catch birds in the frame, only pigeons in the cities, because they don't run away ....🤭

Still, you managed to photograph at least one bird😁

My pleasure dear @johannpiber 🤗

Today was a relaxed day .. I hope you rested too and maybe went for a walk🤗

I wish you a peaceful night and wonderfull week ahead ✨☀️🦋
