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.
