Description Not as sharp as it could be but I like the colours... as well as the fact that I managed to shoot this little chap
I know where they nest so I'll be able to return to the very place and get somewhat better.

Witam znajomą z fotoprzyrody
Dzięki za miłe słowa
Skubańce są szybkie, spróbuj dłużej poobserwowac. Miałem to szczęście, że znalazłem gniazdo. Zaległem przy pobliskim drzewie, na które co chwilę wracał. Pojawiał się co parę minut, za każdym razem na kilkanaście sekund i śmigał po całym pniu. Z całej sesji udało się jedno, może dwa zdjęcia. Gdyby było jaśniej to byłoby więcej, ale nie miałem jak przymknąc przysłony i zazwyczaj uciekał z głębi ostrości.

No właśnie w tym problem że one tak szybko uciekają. Już mam zrobić zdjęcie a ten skubaniec ucieka mi z kadru


i ja również witam kolegę

Mam takie jedno zdjęcie, na którym złapałem go z obydwiema nogami oderwanymi od pnia, ale akurat uciekł z GO.

Same here actually
Nearly 2 GB of bird shots went to the bin. These creepers are damn fast ^^

Thank you
I like these birds a lot. They're damn fast and have successfully avoided me so far. I' hoping to get a better shot soon. Not today, though as I had no chance to leave as early as I should.

The park is infested with birds. I found 6 nests yesterday without even looking for them. Just because of some noisy nestlings.

Thanks, that's actually the only thing I'm fully satisfied with
I'll get back there in the morning and this time I'll bring a tripod. My hands couldn't bear holding the lens all the time and these chaps are really fast (so I should be constantly ready to shoot).
I hope to get a crisp, printable image of a creeper tomorrow
