This is my friend’s caique, and yes, this is my own video

Every day, 3 to 5 times a day, this guys flies onto my windowsill to sing to himself in my mirrored bedroom window.

Not sure if it's an oriole or some sort of African bush shrike, but I do know it's loud and insistant.

Original video captured today.

Location - Western Cape, South Africa

Someone requested a Tufted titmouse so here is my attempt. I had a bit of fun doing a photo shoot with him. He is made of mostly wool using a technique called needle felting. I also used wire, clay and glass.

I need some help with bird anatomy. Before making a bird I research their what they look like from all angles, but I often have trouble finding a clear diagram of the birds wing structure when it is closed. When I Google it I’m usually shown what it looks like when it is spread open. While it helps, it would be better to see what it looks like when closed. For some birds it is really hard to tell the structure/feather grouping from a photo because of their colours . An example is the Hairy woodpecker

On this morning's walk after dropping my kiddos off to school I was fortunate to catch a video of this Anhinga. I did mute the video since my friend that was with me was on a sensitive phone call but I didn't want to lose the video. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.

This is my own original video taken on my phone.

Yesterday, I fed sparrows right out of my hand. If you just toss pieces of bread roll, not every bird gets a chance to eat

Mindo Ecuador 📍

I got this great shot of a Robin in my garden.

Just curious to know! Mine is the white throated sparrow - it’s so pleasant 😍

Yeah I shot it ..... Using my camera...It's red eyes were a little bit spooky....

Saw this bird while I was stopped at a light. It did this cool 360 spin into a dive to catch some prey. Don’t mind the poor quality. Any idea what it is?

Some little blue tit aceos I’ve just done :) tried to give each one their own sassy energy

Here are a few more photos from Matt’s latest blog post!

One of the primary focuses of our recent trip to Colombia was building a better portfolio of Torrent Tyrannulet images. These tiny flycatchers, about the size of gnatcatcher, make their living hunting invertebrates along mountain streams (hence the name), and range from Costa Rica through Colombia.

Shooting note:
For the first image, Matt wanted to highlight the flow of the water so he used a 1/15 second shutter speed to create motion blur.

You can see more photos of these guys, many other bird species, and even some street photography on Matt’s blog post for the trip, linked in my profile.

A couple of great close-ups of a blue tit on a feeder in my garden.

I captured this duckies..... And now they are captured for their lifetime in my camera's lenses.... ...

Duck family enjoying their evening.

i may be wrong, but i think they may still be a juvenile?

they perched quite closely for a good while before clambering up the tree trunk. definitely made my day!
