Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 157

Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 157

Here we are expecting the migratory birds to arrive with the first spring days. They may come earlier this year. I have already saw the first stork and soon I am sure the flocks will cover the sky. Meanwhile the birds that we see everyday are busy making new homes or fixing the old ones. That was my observation from today and my example shows a crow collecting soft material for the nest.

I don't want to make the challenge hard and I am giving you a Free Theme, but I wish to tell me what your observations are. When you made the photo of the bird, how did you find that bird, did you look for it or did you come across by chance? What the bird was doing, what happened next? Did the bird stay longer for more photos or was off? Were there other birds? These are just few questions to make a short story about your photo/s.

And here are my examples.

The crow was in the grass, I don't know where from the material was gathered but obviously the bird realized that it is about time to bring it to the nest, so I managed the second shot when the crow was taking off.

Good morning dear friend @nelinoeva
What a great ideal to share what we observe about the bird while we take the shots. I think there are many things we see about birds when photographing them that are not reflected in the photographs.
I take this opportunity to wish you a happy start to the week.

Very perfect shot of taking off. I missed the last one. But hopefully, find some interesting this time.
And enjoy the bird lover's posts. Greetings :)

Thank you @hindavi, I've got at least this one when the crow just took off, the next was not so good and no sharp at all.
Hope I will see your entry soon. 🙂

Thank you, that photo was not planned, it was taken at the right moment, as if taken by a fast camera.

Usually these photos are not planned and that's what makes them so unique.

I saw a couple of magpies rebuilding an old nest. Sadly the pictures turned blurred when I tried to capture them in flight carrying sticks.

Wednesday I was in the garden with a visitor, hence no camera in my pocket when I saw a yellow-billed kite carrying a snake up still wriggling in it's clasp, first time for everything!

Only bird I know of locally that migrates then returns to same nest to repair is the swallow, I am sure more species do, plenty do borrow another birds nest ready made.

My entry:

Slender-billed oriole (Oriolus tenuirostris) on a banyan tree. Quite recent picture, on March 12.

I was having a walk in a park in Bangkok taking images and "counting species" when this bird suddenly appeared.

I saw this species around a year ago on the same tree, and never before and after.

The banyan's fruits are tiny figs popular among birds, and that's what this oriole came for. Other bird species visit this tree too, some walk on the ground below eating fallen fruits. As for people, they have a Buddhist shrine by this tree - with a large Buddha and decorations.

It was pure luck. The bird "posed" for me for a while and disappeared.

The post about all bird species I saw in this park is here: I Counted 22 Bird Species in a Tiny Park in Bangkok
