Earlier today I decided to make a visit to a nature reserve which I have not visited in over a year. At first, it was empty of animals and birds, but in the final stage of the journey, I saw a Pygmy Owl middle of a field. It brought me great pictures.

After 45 minutes, they discovered a Great Spotted Woodpecker Pygmy owl's presence and tried to get the owl to fly from there. When that did not work so came several Larger woodpeckers attack. Eventually it was five Big peckers against a pygmy owl. An experience in this situation was when Sparrow Owl noticed woodpeckers, making himself thin, and turned my back against that woodpeckers would not notice him / her. One such thing that I have only seen on television.

However, as the weather was not the most fun. Overcast and gray.

Wow. That last shot doesn't even look real. I would cross the ocean to get a close up of that guy on that tree in that pose. That is one the most unusual/funniest captures I have ever seen in my life.
Nice!

What a great set, and a neat ability they have to be able to do that.

Very neat behavior to see and capture. This bird with similar habitat will be my next bird to carve. Good going.
