Another photo of one of the Grey Partridge chicks at our zoo. It was a pleasure to watch these cute little fluffballs of different sizes, all healthy looking and quite active, although this one seemed to need a short break.
Hier seht ihr ein Testfoto, welches ich gemacht hatte, nachdem die Kamera aus dem Fotorucksack gefallen ist.
Da geht einem der Ar*** auf Grundeis, wenn das passiert 😅
So many of these in the woods, i must have encountered up to eight individuals spying on me awaiting me to uncover some food in my path.
"Swan Fluff" by Patti Deters. A Trumpeter Swan fluffs its wings on a cold winter day as it settles in on the St. Croix River in Hudson, Wisconsin with two other Cygnus buccinator in the background. Texture overlay and other editing transform the already lovely photograph into fine art. Please enjoy more of my (wildlife and more) images at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/swan-fluff-patti-deters.....

Fluff, but not like the kind you might find in a belly button...more like the kind you find on a beautiful autumnal day over the skies of Northern Europe.
There are three branches in that tree that are my favorites for bird shots. So I try to place myself accordingly. Even though birds don't land on them that often, I am always willing to wait for it. Especially there are not much out there during the winter season.
Another post from my Peregrine series I really liked and it just may have been a 'fluff and poop' capture!...:) According to a reliable source, Gail, when they poop it is generally a pretty good sign a flight will follow!...FYI (for your information)...lol

Some more close-ups of the cygnets, taken on Sunday morning, when they would have been 3 days old.
More shots in the comment, the last one taken last Friday - 1 day old.
I'm going to be busy with my grandsons, so won't have time to post or comment for a few days. Thanks, as always for your kind comments and I'll catch up as soon as I can.
One I'm not entirely positive about - cloned out a tiny wee cloud on the right of the tree because it intruded on the simplicity of what I was trying to do. Not a massive fan of cloning out things, whether its ducks on the water or bits elsewhere (probably because I have zero skills in that area). All of my images tend to be single RAW files that I play with in LR4 and Silver Efex. I have a lot of respect for folk that do wonderfully artistic things in photoshop and thats maybe something I'll explore in the future but for the time being I'm still trying to catch things as they were (even if I do end up split toning or whatever to match the mood). This ones been back and forwards in the different tools so much that I think the full name stretched across my 27" monitor.
Burchell’s zebra, which is also known as the plains zebra, has black and white stripes all over its body with only a few or fading stripes on the legs. Each zebra has unique stripes that can be used as an identification character to distinguish between individuals – similar to fingerprints in humans. The stripes on the sides run down and join under the belly. Burchell’s zebra can be mistaken for the mountain zebra, but the stripes on the legs (fading stripes in Burchell’s zebra vs. clear stripes on mountain zebra) and belly are distinct (in the mountain zebra, the belly is all white with no stripes).
