I like the light in both shots, excellent catch with the sea eagles wing tip in the water, super shot.

Monday afternoon/evening I did go to the birding hide at Pornaistenniemi to see if there would be any interesting birds to photograph. The waters in front of the hide were mostly "dead", but in the sky there was at times some action... 1. Looks like there is unwanted visitor among the crows...  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 3202. Yep, there is a raptor among the hooded crows!  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 3203. Greater spotted eagle ( Clanga clanga) (Not an every-day sight in this part of the world!) α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 500Some slightly more common sightings: 4. Western marsh harrier ( Circus aeruginosus)  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 3205. Getting closer...  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 4006. And even closer  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 4007. Common buzzard ( Buteo buteo)  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 6408. Starlings flying in ball formation  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 320Sadly, the sparrowhawk chasing those starlings escaped from my attempts to photograph it. And have to mention that althought the photography part of the day was reasonably successful, sadly while biking back home I managed to fall and luckily bodily injuries were fairly minor, but my mobile phone happened to be in the combat trousers' cargo pocket that was the first to hit the asphalt and unfortunately the shattered display cannot heal itself...

After reviewing my photos once again, I have to correct myself: Eurasian sparrowhawk ( Accipiter nisus)  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 320Granted, I have to admit this was from another situation than that particular starling chase.

I think if that barn owl's wing on the left side wouldn't blend into the wheel in the background I would praise that photo more, but now that detail somehow bothers me a bit... ObBirdInFlight: European herring gull ( Larus argentatus)  α7R IV + Sony FE 5.6-6.3/200-600 G OSS + 1.4× TC @ 840 mm, f/9, 1/1600 s, ISO 10000

Like the old philosopher, Jagger once pointed out: You can't always get what you want. |
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might...
