Sharp! What adapter are you using?

The mighty Golden Eagle has landed. Amazing bird.

(Limosa limosa) - Black-tailed Godwit from yesterday

Heard this Bittern while BBQing, managed to get within 20ft or so. finding him was the challenge, super good camo. Flying shot at sitting still speeds lol

Just received a used Metabones for EF-->mFT.
Def. won't be doing any BIF with it though.

LuckyShot here's another example of the M1ii and adapted lens and you know I can't get

I am so fortunate today to of seen Crossbills, very difficult to see in the UK. They were on Exmoor, Devon.

I am so thrilled....

What amazes me with these lovely birds is that I saw a total of 8, yet they were all different colours, because I know so little about them I am not sure at this stage which ones are males and which ones are females. They resemble small parrots in a way. They were very high up in a Cone tree and would come down to a muddy puddle to have a quick drink. They would stay no more than 15seconds at the puddle and then would disappear. Very shy indeed.

Such beautiful colours, they were that colourful I had to reduce the saturation considerably.

I know what you mean, This time of year for me is slow. I have to force myself to go with friends. Their addiction is full blown and I am more selective in what I do. But I see many feeling like social media is sucking the life out of them. Lol

Its not even that, i actually spend very little time on social media, I've been too busy with working on my house and garden. Even when I have been out with my camera, nothing has been happening.

I do have a pair of house wrens that returned to my yard this year. I want to get a shot of them, but they only really call in the morning when im getting ready for work.

I also missed out on one of the best colored yellow rumped warblers ive ever seen. It came down to my bubbler pond and then low into my oak tree, was making dinner and couldnt get my camera.

Mmm thats a problem i do not have, I call my yard Jeff's park because the critters never stop coming. Soon the yard will explode with what I call the spring and summer crowed.
