Common buzzard
The crows noticed me and left. I approached/hid myself behind two trees but the buzzard was not surprised that the crows left him the prey.- jbpixels

Collage
I put my recent efforts, to get migrating birds heading southwards, into this collage. The wheatear is from today. A male stonechat together with some x ID larks were there as well. Probably my last migratory birds this year. Difficult to get a close-up in short term.- jbpixels

Doc shot - great grey shrike
It later perched in the hedges (bg) but I was unable to approach it because the blackbirds there alarmed the shrike when they flew off with a lot of noise.- jbpixels

Wheatear
Looked for wheatears today. One is still there. The three others have already left the area. Interesting because this one was on its own the whole time. It did not join the small group of three. It sat far away from the three others the whole time. I came home with a few kilograms of potatoes...- jbpixels

Resting wheatear
Easier to approach, behind an earth wall, but more difficult to capture. Two acceptable pictures from a few dozens of shots. Variable wind gusts made focusing through the vegetation almost impossible.- jbpixels

Migrating Wheatear
I found four in the past days. Not easy to get them in the open field. I finally found a way and got this one in the afternoon. Thank you wheatear 👍😁.- jbpixels

Black redstart
Pretty warm here at the moment. Only the mornings are already cold and it is getting dark earlier. Otherwise almost no difference to summer weather.- jbpixels

Red kite
Two cycle rides to get some birds in the last two days. The weather will be autumn like in the coming days. Maybe better next week. No more migratory x_chats, shrikes, x_flycatchers at the usual places.- jbpixels

Male black redstart
Dear bievre, I developed a new camo technique. My approach was to act like a redstart; without a camo net. I sat on the fence like they do and ... after an hour perched this male on old fence wood on the other side of the path. 🤣😉- jbpixels

European pied flycatcher
I am not sure if European or Collared and I was happy to find at least one migratory beauty in the last two days. The ID guys will hopefully find serious marks. Update: Bewick helped to ID this flycatcher.- jbpixels

Ficedula ... hypoleuca vs albicollis ... Your IDea please. 👍
I captured this migratory cutie yesterday afternoon close to Starnberg/Bavaria. Please share your ID knowledge with me. I will upload a third pic to the gallery soon. Overall a more greyish impression with strong whites. A collared? Thank you for your support.- jbpixels
