Feathery friends

Post by JochenM »

With there's not much to do here (country still in a semi-lockdown like a lot of places); I've been keeping myself busy (and my sanity in check) by spending almost every morning before work going to observe/capture wildlife; something I absolutely love doing.

I've taken literally thousands of shots over the past few weeks; with most still needing processing (more to come when I get around to it). Here's a small subset of what has been done so far. Enjoy!

Thanks Rainer/Phil/Franco.

Appreciate it. Will make sure to show some more once they've been processed (have quite a few smaller songbirds).
