Another representative of the white-spectacled bulbul goes to my gallery, and with the sound recording. In Egypt in hotel’s gardens the billbils were quite numerous and they were not very skittish.

I had a chance and pleasure to photograph white-tailed sea eagles thanks to using Marcin’s hide ( link ). Without such a place taking such pictures in such a quantity would be impossible. The involvement in case of this kind of photography is naturally different, as from dawn to dusk you have to sit in one place in Spartan conditions, to see this largest bird of prey in our country.

This is the second kite on my website. The photographing scenario is always the same. The kite is sitting quite high on an isolated tree and observing the vicinity. It preys much like a kestrel, hovering in the air in order to spot the prey and attack it out of the blue.  I approach the kite, taking shots every 10 meters. Although the quality of the photos is better, the background gets less attractive. From the green perspective of trees the sky stays white. White-tailed kites can weigh nearly 400 grams, with a wingspan of about one meter.

After all, this gallery, the gallery of one photo, so far, had to be set. There are several reasons. The picture was taken in Wadi Rum (the Valley of the Moon) in Jordan, and here is an oddity – with 70-millimeter lens. I have to explain to photographers what is the reason the photo is so poor. Although it was not another bird's trip, taking 500mm lens when going to such a different exotic area, which was Jordan, Israel and Egypt was compulsory to me.
