Alphabetical list

Shooting such a large bird of prey is always exciting. It is really a beautiful bird, although I was not sure if I was dealing with one or two species. Such large variability prompted me to verify the name of species. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is the largest Australian bird of prey. Its weight may exceed 5 kilograms and a wingspan 2.5 meters, supposedly even some specimens were measured which wingspan was 2.8 meters. Physically very similar to our white-tailed eagle. The biggest difference, in my view, is the way the pictures were taken.

When I was arriving in one of the towns of New Zealand, where I was planning to stay overnight, I caught sight of a bird feeding at the edge of the road. It resembles the corn cake, a bird that is commonly found in Poland. It only differs from the corn crake in its brown plumage. I stopped the car immediately, took the camera and, approaching slowly, I took several photos. There was not enough light, but weka remained calm and the photos I managed to take were really satisfactory. I had so much joy at the end of the day. It is a brand new species in my gallery.

The pictures of the Welcome Swallow presented here were taken in Australia and New Zealand. These shots "urbanized" originated in Australia and those on stony ground in New Zealand. Now a little about them. At dawn I went out of the town for another walk with the camera. I reached the little river that, judging from the bed, can be many times greater. On its rocky shores a flock of swallows during the morning toilet could be seen. And again, stalking and checking  the possibly shortest distance for swallows to accept.

There weren’t any problems with western Bonelli’s warblers in the Pyrenees. Not far from the place where we stayed for the night, the warblers occurred quite commonly. As the species belongs to the fauna of Poland, I devoted some time to the western Bonelli’s warbler, and an interesting start-up gallery with its own soundtrack has been created.

I start the texts associated with the landscape of Sweden with the Western Capercaillie. This is not a coincidence. I’ve been planning to see and take photos of this beautiful bird in his natural habitat for a long time.Since it is a rare species in Poland, it was necessary to plan a photo workshop abroad. The capercaille is the largest representative of the galliformes family. Males can weigh more than 6 kilograms and their wingspan is about 1.3 metre. Females are much smaller than males. This information did not make me decide to want to observe these birds.
