Beautiful Small Bird


Here is the Eurasian blue tit again, I showed you photos of this species a couple of times already. The photo in this post was shot last March under bad weather conditions and after I got my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I edited the image to make it a bit brighter but sadly I also had to crop the image to show you the subject. I think there was luck involved, I just pressed the shutter button at the right time, and it’s cool that I did so before the bird flew away. My bird photo collection get bigger and bigger, … Continue reading Beautiful Small Bird

Here Is Another Pretty Bird


As I take more photos than I can publish at a time, I thought that I upload one that I shot two months ago. I found this bird in March on a tree, it should be a great tit (Parus major). This bird is pretty too, and I saw the bird quite often on my hikes, but most of the images I shot were not good enough to upload. However, the two photos in this post are ok, because you can see the bird well. I didn’t crop the image nor did I edit the image, because I liked the … Continue reading Here Is Another Pretty Bird

White Wagtail On The Footpath


I think I found the white wagtail today. I never had a lot of knowledge about birds, I just knew common birds, but I start to learn more about them since I take photos of the birds I find on my way when I go hiking. Today when I saw this small bird in front of me on the footpath, I thought it would be a young great spotted woodpecker, because they have a similar black and white head as well, but at home I researched more and now I think that the bird in my photo is a white … Continue reading White Wagtail On The Footpath

Beautiful Forest Bird


Today I walked through the forest again and then I saw a bird in the bush, it’s most likely an Eurasian blackcap bird, a male, because the females have an orange cap and not a black one. During my research I also thought it could be a March tit or the Willow tit, but now I am sure it’s the Eurasian blackcap because the others would have a black marking on the chin and there were some other differences. After I nailed it down to the three birds, I asked the Google image search and thought, yeah, this should definitely … Continue reading Beautiful Forest Bird

Eurasian Blue Tit On A Tree


I thought I share a photo of the Eurasian Blue Tit bird again. I shot the winter sometime during the winter. I have no idea why I shot the photo at 1/2000 of a second, maybe because I was outside to take photos of flying birds? But even then the camera setting would have been too fast. I am unhappy with the camera settings that I saw in the metadata and I wish I would have used other settings. The photo is shot at 300mm and I cropped the image to get even closer. I like the composition that I … Continue reading Eurasian Blue Tit On A Tree

Another Robin


I posted already a Robin today, but I have another photo that I want to share. It’s because I saw several of them today, and I had a little bit of luck to get some decent shots. The days get brighter now that we start to see a little bit of sunshine. I hope to see even better lighting conditions soon, because I’d like to take some pictures with low ISO and less image noise. The photo in this post is shot at ISO 1250 and there is still a bit of noise visible, but at least I didn’t have … Continue reading Another Robin
