Nightingale Study

Some Nightingale in P900 photography and videography, mating season is over for this year though, no more song

 

Here is my nightingale serenading myself, likes a bit of attention

O Nightingale! thou surely art

A creature of a fiery heart --

Thou sing'st as if the god of wine

Had help'd thee to a Valentine

Birdwatching Mode: Eurasian Jays Sighted

In a bird-watching mode now, and here are two Eurasian Jays sighted in Moscow earlier this week.

My first sighting of them in Moscow, I have and see (and even feed) plenty of them at my place in the country but it's a first time sighing in the city.

 

Too bad I didn't have with me my dedicated bird watching kit mainly consisting of a Nikon P900 with its superior zoom and it even has an in-built bird watching mode.

These exposures are achieved with a Sony RX100 m2.
