Blink and you miss it . I often wonder how much we see compared to birds . You have a very interesting series .

She doesn't look convinced to be fair.

She's probably thinking " I knew this Welsh boy a while back, boy did he have a voice. Sigh!"

Excellent capture Henrich.

Spring must be here, songbirds are singing and buds are growing on the poplars. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you and you are welcome, Spring was here last week, today it went all the way up to +2º C.

Razor sharp and "pops" out of my screen. Masterful job, Heinrich, as always.

Excellent series Heinrich! That male was certainly belting out a tune!

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 04-12-2021, 12:43 PM

That you Todd, seemingly he was not successful with this one.

**K2 to K50** · 04-15-2021, 06:52 PM

For some reason, I have only just come across this series now.
Wonderful shots, Heinrich. In the second shot he really looks like he is giving it his all - beak wide open, (throat no doubt in top gear) and tail fanning out!

**sergysergy** · 04-16-2021, 07:17 AM

Nice capture! But I'm not sure if she is too impressed

charliezap · 04-16-2021, 09:06 AM

Thank you Peter, his throat being in top gear was what made me look in the first place and it took me a few moments to see them way up in a poplar tree..

Very nice and even better as a series. It could inspire an entire photo illustrated children's photo book.

I'm impressed with the 300* 1.4 combo in terms of how sharp everything is. Nice shots
