Wow,da ist dir aber eine tolle Nahaufnahme von dieser Elster gelungen lieber Keith,ich habe es noch nie geschafft,obwohl ich ein Tele 200-600 habe,so schön und nah ranzukommen,es sind ja echt schlaue Vögel und normal sind sie immer sehr schnell weg,wenn man zu Nahe kommt,du hast aber durch die Verglasung ein wunderschones Bild machen können und auch das Licht hat genau gepasst :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

I normally have the same problem........I get them in the garden quite often but they're very difficult to get a shot of. I was really lucky to get a shot through the window and it flew off straight away..!!

Glad you like the result Güni.........and thanks for your visit and kind comments. I'm a bit jealous of your long telephoto lens :-))

Have a lovely evening my friend.........and I wish you a good week ahead. Take care........best wishes, Keith.

We get them in the garden quite often, but like you, I rarely get the chance to take a photo. I was lucky to get just this one shot through the window.

Glad you like this one James..........many thanks..!!

A beautiful portrait of this magpie, Keith! The picture is so sharp and clean, though taken through double gazing. Great spring light too.
Well done!
