This is a closer view of the male common blue in the previous photo. I didn't get the dof quite right, maybe next time :D

'SINGING OUT LOUD.'
Captured singing his heart out at the edge of an oilseed rape field in early summer. He was either very conspicuous, or skulking around in roadside vegetation.

A bird I have never seen on my DIY perch and even a new shooting position, as this one was taken while I was outdoors as opposed from within my office.
Light was quite harsh, certainly not ideal but it sure made for the iridescence to show up very well. Everyone knows that I like saturation in my images, but honestly I have not added any at all, at least not to the bird. I did select the bird and then reversed the selection in order to tone down the brightness of the background and the perch, and I gave a bit of a saturation boost to make up for what was lost in their overexposure. This guy was indeed very bright, shiny and colourful.
I managed to get a number of different poses outdoors and even went inside and was able to get a few different shots. I decided on this one to post because of its pose and how all of its long tail is showing. Not a bird I have seen many times. I am so happy that I had noticed it and was able to get a number of captures.
Taken at Barton Marina, Staffordhire.
Thank you to everyone who faves or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
The Common Sandpiper is a smallish wader with contrasting brown upperparts and white underparts. It bobs up and down, known as 'teetering',
What a striking bird was this Common Loon! I was able to get this image (which is cropped from the original) using an 800 mm lens while floating unobtrusively on a small lake near Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
As soon as there is a little stretch of open water as the ice recedes from the shore of Hawrelak Park Lake, the male Common Goldeneyes come in from the river and claim that small stretch of water to entice a female. They are on constant guard and vigorously defend their patch from other males.
This is my first Goldeneye of the season there, but as the ice continues to recede I hope to witness courtship rituals and combats over the next few days as more males and the females arrive.
