Rook found it's nut
This was made during walking with a kid on a cold February day. Rooks were walking in the pile of leaves searching for something. This one suddenly found a nut. The happiness and excitement is seen upon his beak. It tried to leave all the others without a fight but it couldn't. All the nearby rooks were trying to get the nut with fight in result. However the treasure seeker escaped and were eating it happily on a nearby tree.

Spotted Flycatcher singing (2013 shot)
Started to clean up archives of 2013 year photos of nature. They are quite big so new nice birds will come. This one really lacks of picture quality due to my skills and gear used that days. There are some valuable moments captured however and I will post them here. Here is a capture of a Spotted Flycatcher. It was one of my first time ever using a tele lens.

Bee eater and his prey (with camera config setup)
Today's catch. Bee-eater bird. The most interesting part is how it was captured. Welcome to the description of the shot. Full Flickr version: Canon 650D, Celestron PowerSeeker 80EQ Telescope ISO160, 1/125, ƒ/8 Manual focus with the scope. Used: Celestron 93625 Universal 1.25-inch Camera T-Adapter and Celestron 93419 T-Ring for 35 mm Canon EOS Camera (Black) In general camera configuration looked like so: I'm not too satisfied with the quality this config provides. I mean its not the camera lens. However it gives decent quality for capturing sensitive objects in a "non-frightened" distance. Me and a bird were about 50 meters away.
