A great cormorant drying its wings on top of a yellow and red "Yksityinen / Private" sign mounted on a wooden dock jutting into a grey lake. Its wings are spread wide. A great cormorant preens quietly at the far right edge of the dock. In the soft, misty background, autumn trees and a red building are visible on the far shore. The mood is overcast and atmospheric.

I've always found mallards #photogenic whenever I'm photographing them, so I'll put these shots out for today's #BirdOfTheDay. Some of these shots also seem to fit the alt theme #LightAndShade quite nicely

Pigeons often fly around in flocks near a lake I often visit. This shot fits perfectly for today's #BirdOfTheDay, as there's #FourOrMore feral pigeons in it!

I'm back after a week, had some issues with my camera and I'm using a new one now :-)

For today's #BirdOfTheDay of #PowerPose, I had to choose this intimate photo of a barnacle goose I once captured ๐Ÿ‘€

I'm finally early for #BirdOfTheDay, haha. Today's theme is #Portrait.

I LOVE hooded crows. They're so fun to watch, and especially to photograph. So naturally, I have these close-up portraits of them :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay involves a bird #DivingForFood, so I wanted to include this osprey that I caught one time!

A great blue heron portrait. This was most likely my first attempt at drawing realism in birds ๐Ÿ‘€

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, we got a house sparrow for the alt theme, #EverydayBirds :D

I was photographing a grebe from the bushes until he flew in there with me..

"so, what are we photographing?"

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #WaterBirds. Accordingly, here's a young great crested grebe. This one was difficult to choose, I absolutely love photographing waterfowl :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #OddCouples, and I immediately thought of this one time I captured a common sandpiper and a white wagtail together. It looked like they were staring at each other
