Recurvirostra avosetta, Alfaiate, Castro Marim

fab the mirroring

Fabulous reflections

Ganz phantastisch!

The avocet is the symbol for the RSPB, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Isabel. Lovely work and stunning reflections.

Thks for info and appreciation, Amelia !

gefällt mir mit der Spiegelung sehr gut

Brilliant !...... a smack on image and a perfect suggestion for the 'ipernity' homepage slide show....... Dj..

No, seems my photos are not suitable...

Phenomenal pair! Stay well!

Perfect with the reflection! These birds look so elegant.

Stunningly beautiful; like the PiP even more.
Enjoy your weekend.

Excellent avec un reflet parfait.

Wow !!! Superbe

Wow,eine gewaaltige Aufnahme schon zuerst wegen des Vogels und dann wegen dieser tollen Spiegelung noch liebe Xata,hast du wunderbar umgesetzt:))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Such a beautiful looking bird.............and two brilliant photos Isabel. Perfectly sharp and detailed with superb reflections and captured in wonderful light! Outstanding work!

I was wondering what lens you're using.........the exif data is confusing when I look at what IP says:

Lens 300.0 mm f/4.0
Lens ID AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED II
Lens Info 300mm f/4

I'm guessing it's the 300mm f4 with a 1.4 converter (which is a lens I used to use when I was a Nikon shooter. I used to use a D3 and a D700 back in the day).

Obrigada Keith.
The exifs are weird indeed but you have interpreted right: 300 prime f/4 nikkor and nikkor tc 1.4
The only lens I kept with the D800, the Leica Q2 being ok for other “jobs” and at least a weight and bulk I can always carry along

Thanks for confirming that Isabel. It was perhaps my favourite lens at the time. Unfortunately the weight of the kit got to me in the end :-))

Same with me, I don’t carry it anylonger except if I don’t have to carry much long, so for birdwatch almost only…
The Leica Q2 is perfect, simple, full frame, goes from 28 to 75mm, 47mp, has macro position… and about 700gr weight

Yes, the freedom from not carrying a heavy bag full of lenses etc, is amazing and allowed me to enjoy my photography more!

Wow ! That’s great, Isabel !

Two superb shots Isabel. Great reflections!

Fabulous pair of shots of this beautiful bird!

Both are beautifu.. Ah, that reflection!!!

Wonderful capture of the bird and his reflection.
