    Young Flamingos in Albacete (Spain)

    Flamingos in Germany?? And in winter?? I lived in Bremen and Düsseldorf for two years and I can't imagine Flamingos there in those cold winters. Thanks for the information. If they can survive there, here they will too.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Hi there! I bought one about two months ago. I am very happy with it. I usually take my other camera with me too, a basic sony alpha 230 with a 50-500 sigma lens (that is a heavy combination to walk in the mountains) it is very useful to take photos of great bustards, and the birding mode...

    Red partridge, a femme fatale?

    I love the red partridge (alectoris rufa). There are many here, in Albacete (Spain) well not as many as there used to be, mainly because of the chemicals that WE, the people that work the land, use, I am very sorry for that. This bird is beautiful, its colours, its shape, the way it flies...it...

    New to bird photography

    I had a converter, and after the first shots....I decided to keep it in the box, and get me a larger lens. Anyhow the picture is very good, I wish I had the same hide that you have, I´ve never taken a front picture like that.

    New to birding here just south of Birmingham...

    Hi there. I was in Rogersville, did my 10th grade at the LCHS, and could enjoy those same birds, the cardinals and hummingbirds. We don't have'em here. I miss Alabama. Here we use corn and wheat seeds to attract a bunch of birds, but what here is most important is to have quiet and clean...
