Bird Portraits - Post Yours!

[Levina de Ruijter]

EDIT: I want to add that the word "portraits" in the thread title refers to all birds perched, standing on the ground, walking, running, etc. As well as to actual (head) portraits.

It would be nice if you could tell us the species of bird as not everybody knows every bird out there. Thanks!

I love these birds. When in their breeding plumage they're so beautiful.

Cormorant

I shot this on one of the first outing with the R6 and RF 800/11 and the results blew me away. Especially the 800/11 really surprised me.

Having a snack:

They're big birds. Look at the wingspan!

These are all great, Levina, but that Godwit shot is really gorgeous.
