One of the my best photos about this kind bird. I love this picture so much.

Eurasian Hoopoe is a beautiful bird, and I love it. I took this photo 2 mounts ago.

A lonely Eurasian Coot, I named Arezoo, In Persian it means the Wish or ambition.

A lovely bird, as pretty in flight, as well on the ground. The small crest on the head tells you that we're are dealing with a female. There are many species of lapwings around the world, and their behaviour on the ground is similar, and their aerobatic capabilities are awesome.

I've not seen him for a couple of days, which isn't unusual, but I've noticed the juvenile female watching me from my trees the last few days; it might be her keeping him away Camera Maker: SONY Camera Model: SLT-A58 Lens: 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 Image Date: 2014-11-24 11:41:17 (no TZ) Focal Length...

I needed to go to ISO 1600 just to get 1/20th second on this, so very poor light, and through the double glazing I've blurred the prey a bit, so no blood visible. A Starling is about 9 inches long from bill-tip to tail-tip, and weighs about 3 and 1/2 ounces. A female Sparrowhawk is about 16...
