More Feathered Friends From My Neighborhood
This time of the year when the migratory birds have gone south, we still have enough different birds to enjoy watching and photographing.
Starting with the Blue Tit.
This Blue Tit has an angry face. I don't know why but it reminds me of a stormtrooper from Star Wars. Sometimes the blue cap on top of tne head is up, but not with this one. He or she looks rather presentable.
I love to watch them feeding, they hang upside down or do some other acrobatic tricks. All my photos of the bird upside down turned blurred or out of focus. Hopefully next time I could show some.
The Goldfinch.
Not the best images, but they are funny. Too far away on top of the tree, pecking seeds.
Here comes the dove.
Doves tend to stay on top of the high trees. To see some at eye level or on the ground is not unusual, but seems I have not many photos.
Crow
More often I see them collecting nuts. There are wallnut trees in our area and it is easy for the birds to pick the nuts from the ground.
Autumn colours on the ground.
And finally a magpie
From all the shots, I chose one. Must keep on practicing to focus better.
I watched some YouTube channels about bird photography. I may not have the gear of these guys but the tips they are giving are rather useful. My problem is to find the right setttings, especially when it is overcast. That is why I got quite a lot underexposed photos. Still learning and doing my best to become better. ☺
I had no much time for my favourite Deep Dream Generator lately. However, I thought to finish the post with something I just did with that program. My choice is again the magpie image turned into painting.

STOPLovely captures Neli ! 😍 You didn't post them in the community, only under the hashtag...😕
I 'll crosspost it
Oh, bugger.😀 Thank you Barbara!
Another great post of cute little birds and these are not the easiest birds to photograph well done 👍
Oh, thank you. I have more critical eye and I am trying to improve my skills. Still it is long way to go.
Very nice photos of these cute birds! The goldfinch looks quite stunning! They have real gold!! LoL
Goldfinches are very cute. All finches in fact are cute and I encounter four different types. Hope to get more photos this weekend.
You are the finches’ huntress! LoL
😄😉
Beautiful bird shots!
I hear you about taking a lot of shots trying to get the good ones - that is my way too! Capturing birds in flight was my biggest challenge but I'm getting better at it.
Where abouts do you live with those birds? It must be in the northern hemisphere for it is autumn there.
Thank you very much for stopping by ☺
I lost count of deleted photos LOL. Birds in flight is tricky without tripod. I am but stubborn and keep on trying.
I live in Bulgaria in Eastern Europe. Happy to see the diversity of birds without going far from home. They are all around my home and the local park where we walk the dog. Besides the birds there are bats, but I have no chance to take a picture of them, bloody fast they are. They are flying just in front of my balcony, making my cats crazy. LOL
What a good job @nelinoeva! You're right, the first bird (blue tit) looks like the soldiers from Star Wars, hahaha, good comparison. I loved the painting you made with the magpie. Greetings and blessings.
¡Que buen trabajo @nelinoeva! Tienes razón, el primer pajarito (herrerillo) se parece a los soldados de La Guerra de las Galaxias, jajaja, buena comparación. Me encantó el cuadro que hiciste con la urraca. Saludos y bendiciones.
Thank you very much for stopping by. Glad you like my bird photos. ☺
