Im sorry it’s not a good foto but this morning i spotted a common kingfisher in the forest, had my Leitz Trinovid 7x35B with me and made use of the 150 m FOV to see this remarkable bird in flight. Nice colors.

This morning a short-toed Eagle passed over my house and I was able to observe it with my Aurora. It is the twelfth species of raptor I have seen from my garden

Yesterday, a totally eclipsed sun filtered through Texas clouds was in my bins.

Male and female Wood Ducks landed in the tiny vernal pool behind my house! Very exciting. Never seen any bird in there before, not even a Mallard.

I once had a pair come to inspect a maple tree on my property.

They rejected it, and I never saw them again.

I used my UV 7x42 in the garden this morning. Apart from a few buzzards in the sky there were some very interesting insects in my garden. I don't usually watch insects through binoculars, so it was the first time for me to think that the close focus of the UV could be a bit better. Watching bumblebees and dragonflies through the UV was very nice, though. I didn't have my telephoto at hand, so I snapped a photo with my 45 yo Leica Summicron. Here is a female broad-bodied chaser.

Very nice photo of a difficult subject.

It's harvest time as the farmers cut and turn the grass ready to be chopped for sillage.

This attracts the Buzzards and Red Kites searching for any lost and confused mice and other little creatures. This gorgeous Buzzard was resting in between snacks.

Watched through the superb Meopta B1 8x56's and shot with a Lumix S5 II and a Sigma 150-600mm lens.

An eel! Only the third I've seen in 35 years of living close to the river Arle. This one was 200m from the Eel House, once used to trap 10's if not 100s of eels
