This is the first time in my life I have seen a blackcap, managed to capture it through lounge window.

Congrats on a first, nice shot through the window.

Thank you very much, Robert and Mike!
Here is the last frame I have before they took the fight under water. Who will emerge with the fish? stay tuned...

It's a relay race! great sequence.

Thank you all ! The best part is that I was sitting comfortably in an overflow channel, with the water surface right at eye/lens level.

Another great moorhen shot Vassilis. I certainly don't envy your having to sit at eye level in an overflow channel. And that moorhen looks like it's telling you a thing or two.

These two last ones are exceptional.
Love the colours and composition.
So clean and crisp.

These owls are a real feast for the eyes.
Exceedingly beautiful.
Very nicely captured.

Couple beauties there.
male has more sense. Doesn't try and balance on the prongs.
But then the female maybe smarter.
Lovely birds.

Nice, I do not get to see them that much.

Thank you Rob. I see them often enough, but it's getting close that's the hard part.

It was a totally dry concrete overflow channel and I was really comfortable sitting in a folding stool, enjoying a cup of coffee.
Very common birds in that pond unfortunately
