Some photos taken during the shortest day of the year. From now on, it can only get brighter

Nice work. I like the looks of the second bird. What species is it ?

It's getting to that time of the year when I tend to use my scope the most, the start of spring and into early summer. I got the scope out of the garage and dusted off the cobwebs at the weekend after not using it for around 6 months. It's coming up to nesting season and that tends to give loads of photo opportunities so I'm just getting in some early practice.
That Dunnock is one of a pair I have in the garden and they started nest building last week. It's a lucky survivor as it flew into a window last Friday. It was knocked unconscious for about 20 minutes and just lay on its back although I could see it was still breathing. I didn't touch it just to save any further stress. Eventually it came round and flipped over onto its feet and just sat for about another hour. Eventually it went off into the undergrowth and thankfully seems to be fine.

To be honest, no they don't. I opened these up in Lightroom, adjusted the contrast and boosted the saturation a little and that was it. I leave the sharpness settings in Lightroom on the default setting. The Dunnock was from around 7m and the photo is only lightly cropped. The Blue Tit was around 12m and it was cropped quite heavily, maybe 80% or more. ISO was 1600 for all three images as I was having to quickly switch from birds in dark shade to birds in full sunlight.

Nice Stork catching the fish Joe. That's with your Takahashi FSQ106EDX that you mentioned in another thread?
