I am still working on sorting through the tons of images I made over the recent weeks. Therefore, here is one from the archives. I like the stark contrast between the bright blue of the Indigo Bunting and the lush green of the environment. That is also why I kept the bird a bit smaller in the frame. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/569750311

Guess what, my previous comment is already outdated… I was looking through the Lightroom catalogue for all the Meadow Pipit pictures I made and saw this unprocessed one sitting there from last year (together with this quite interesting shot from a common tern). I completely forgot I had these 😄 Ratings are greatly appreciated https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/568753711 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/568753951

A little Meadow Pipit this time.. my goal for this season would be to get some better images of this species! https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/568745231

My first ever encounter with a Gray Partridge! I was about to drive away when I spotted some weird-looking pigeons in the field, it turned out they were not pigeons at all 😄 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/567653621 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/567652621

Not the best with all the dead sticks, but I still quite like how they turned out since they are not the easiest to approach https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/567199301 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/567199291

Here are two that I am more happy about, especially the Willow Warbler. I have heard this one so many times, yet never managed to take its picture. That is, until yesterday. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/565881221 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/565881231

Very far from a good photo, but my favourite anyway! This picture started my journey here on the forum 🙂

Not the best picture, but I do like his/her hideout in the reeds https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/565589191

I agree with this, it really depends on what you want to capture and personal preference

What would be your preference? With a bit of morning sunshine or not? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/563901381 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/563901431

Nothing too fancy this time. I went to a new location for me and spotted several lifers; but those did not result in great photos, unfortunately... https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/561747581 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/561747691
