Is it my imagination, but do these creatures hate me as whatever it is tit or pussy they always seem to be angry?

It's not just you. Cats are bitter because they're not quite as good as dogs, and never will be

Super pic dude!

Thx. It was hard to get only three into same pic, there are really lot of those birds + some other species flying on my yard now

Their fillings fly on air as they have little fights at times, but nice to watch them doing whatever they do while myself having a flu at inside of house

If they stay here for bit longer, then I won't have biting insects problems as they hopefully take care of that

Here is one bird I have been trying to taking photo of for almost a year, few days ago I actually saw it for first time, it makes weird sound and even you hear it often it is very hard to see as it is so fast. It is called Common Snipe, here you can hear it:

I had never heard such thing before moving here, only at summer time and only in few places here, don't know how common it is over your place.

edit: there was some sports game which ate tac2's like bear eats honey, but can't remember if it was for A500 or some other machine.

They have come again:




Well, also these guys, they are too fast, so couldn't get too good of photo:

Thunder, very minor and distant however.

My skin says I need to get inside for a moment.

Me stepping in me beach? Came out pretty ok, I think, full frame from the camera, only resized.

Birds on the beach is always a win.
How do you catch them man?
theyre not exatly known for standing still and posing.

[jtbo]

Ok, one failed shot. But it looks like beast attacking at rainy night from some bad killer bee movie

[volvosneverdie]

Dude!
how big was that frickin bee!?

I wait and they land quite near and start to poke ground with their nose and then it is easy to take photos

At colder days it is easy to put gloves and some other masking equipment on, forehead, neck, nose, palms, arms and shape of head are one that should be made less human like, then standing straight is not good, that way without moving fast one can get even to 5 meters.

First 20mins is just staying motionless, after that one can try taking photos.

But now there is quite hot sun, luckily cold breeze cools down a bit, but no way I'm going to wear gloves and long sleeve out there

Something similar to this with some mods is good start, if you need to get really close:



Then again, you could get 300mm lens, much much easier

Oh, that bee was around 3-4cm long. It is perhaps not bee, but that other larger thing, herhiläinen in finnish, maybe it was wasp in english?

[volvosneverdie]

Yeah, theres giant wasps. None in Engerland though.
Looks scary.
