oh, this is interesting. #Loops only handles up to 40mb. i was informed it could take up to 80, & it will compress it. but when i uploaded a 78mb file, then this 42mb file, they both failed as too big. but it looks like this uploaded to #Mastodon just fine💙

Here's a tiny iridescent #dove coming to get some seeds😊💙

Our bluebird flock continues to grow. This morning, I counted at least 24 bluebirds at the feeders. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

I've seen bee-eaters "tossing" their prey before - but I've never managed to capture it in mid-flight! This is the same sequence as my previous photo, but now the bird quickly flicks the grass hopper into the air, catches it headfirst and swallowed it - all whilst still flying! #birds #birdphotography

Bonsoir,

Épervier aux aguets, perché dans un noisetier en fleurs ( un de ses postes réguliers d'observation ) sous une pluie fine ; il a repéré deux mésanges charbonnières qui alarment de sa présence.

a juvenile carmine bee-eater - flying alongside our vehicle - gets lucky when this grasshopper hopped in front of it - which is the whole point of them hawking next to us as we drove #birds #birdphotography
