'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.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
One from the summer. Amazing to think they'll be south of the equator by now, not as far south as the Arctic Tern but still a fair mileage
Two common raven (Corvus corax), fighting and feeding on the carcass of a red fox lying on stones in a forest of birch trees.
I've never been able to capture so clear a photo of a Common Merganser before. She was most cooperative. A couple more to come.
Thanks for Viewing.

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.

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.

The Common Sandpiper is a smallish wader with contrasting brown upperparts and white underparts. It bobs up and down, known as 'teetering',

Some Cooshie-doos from a misty and frosty morning. Judging by the slightly brownish tinge to the wing coverts and the worn state of the primaries, these were birds born last year. Adults would have darer primaries with a sharper white fringe and the coverts would be a purer "dove" grey
