Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD in test

SUPPOSE SAME COUPLE COMES BACK TO THE SAME PROTECTED PLACE IN THE PATIO TO NEST. THE MAIN PHOTO WAS TAKEN LAST SUNDAY, HARD NOT TO DISTURB THEM. YESTERDAY THEY WERE LIKE THIS, STILL IN THEIR NEST : THIS MORNING THE NEST WAS EMPTY AND THE LITTLE ONES ON A WIRE I GUESS FIRST FLIGHT: PIPs ABOVE ONCE THEY FLY THEY DON’T RETURN TO THE NEST, SO WE CAN CLEAN THE MESS UNDERNEATH. BUT THE NEST STAYS THERE, THEY WILL USE IT NEXT YEAR AND IT SAVES THEM FROM BUILDING ANOTHER ONE AS THEY ARE TIRED ENOUGH BY THE LONG JOURNEY BACK FROM SUBSAHARIAN AFRICA

CASTRO MARIM, RESERVA. PRESS “Z” TO VIEW WIDE ON BLACK, ITS BETTER!

ONE MORE WEEK MAYBE OR LESS AND THEY WILL BE READY TO FLY ...

I WAS COMING BACK FROM TAKING A PICTURE OF THE WIND TURBINE IN THE MIST AND FRIGHTENED THIS GOLDFINCH WHO IS BUILDING ITS NEST IN MY BUGANVILEA. WHEN I SAW IT ON THE CABLE I HAD THE VISION OF THE DIAGONAL LINE, THE SETTINGS WERE THOSE USED FOR THE TURBINE PIC: I SHOT THIS STRAIGHT AWAY, ONE SECOND AFTER THE BIRD FLEW AWAY... SO THE COMPOSITION EFFORT IS ON THE DIAGONAL. I HAD TO CROP TO ADJUST, FIRST BECAUSE I WAS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH, SECOND BECAUSE THE DIAGONAL WAS NOT PERFECT.
