Nothing for ages. Then bird lands, clouds part, evening sun breaks through, one clean take-off, and just like that it’s gone again. Clouds roll back in, and it’s back to waiting ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #myna

Love this shot … fantastic light. Great capture ☕️

Good morning Linda .... Thank you ☕

Siberian Stonechats just arrived in the area of Hainan Island where I live. I’ve seen them flitting around the scrubs but haven’t managed to get a good shot yet. They’re a lovely little bird, but boy do they move fast …

Hi Andries, thank you ☕️

Crested Myna: I love the feathers at the end of the beak ... If birds had hairstyles, they would befinitely be the 50's Teddy Boys of the bird world ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #myna

Hi Michelle ... Thank you ☕

Hi Jomom, thank you ☕️

Thank you ☕️

Grey-headed Kingfisher, came up empty, with water droplets still clinging to his feathers. No luck this time ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Hi Rob, thanks ☕️

Evening light and a moment of personal grooming ... Grey Wagtail ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Cracker of a shot Alex ☕️

Siberian Stonechat: I watched this little guy for an hour darting and flitting all over the scrub, willing her to come closer so I could get a sharp shot ... not today ... maybe next time ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Hell of a shot Paul … that’s really a scroll stopper ☕️

Good morning Peying, thank you ☕️

Hi Kokopelli, thank you ☕️

Good morning Melanie, thank you ☕️

I'm surprised this didn't get more attention ... nice shot and edit ☕

This Kingfisher dropped onto a perch right beside me, barely a metre off the ground and nowhere near water. Seeing one this close in dry scrub was a surprise. Hopefully, not a one-off visit ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Thanks Tom. It's a Long-tailed Shrike, a regular in this patch of scrub ...

Hi Dave, whether a reflection or just the shape, it does feel like the lens gives you away sometimes ....

Thanks, Linda. I guess sometimes the mood carries the photo more than the details … ☕️

I’m in a hide when I take these shots, but I always wonder, can the bird see me, the lens, or is it sensing something isn’t right? The look suggests I’m not as hidden as I think ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #shortbeaks #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Not the sharpest nor technically a good photo (too far away), but I like its dreamy quality … #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #birdoftheday #shortbeaks #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Good morning ☕️ Thank you for your nice comment

Hi Lee, thank you for your nice comment ☕️

Long-tailed Shrike at Dusk: I usually see them hunting alone in this patch of scrub, though now and then two turn up together in the same tree. Seems like they just tolerate each other ... #WildlifePhotography #BirdWatching #NatureLovers #ChinaBirds #addBirder #birds #🪶#photographersUnited

Good morning Robyn ☕️ Thanks for your nice comment
