That is a great capture with the grub in his beak. Wonderful detail.
 
Thanks, Yuki. I guess I have a "thing" for those little critters.

We visited the Aquitaire-region of France last 2 weeks, and we came across a butterfly we could not identify apart from a few other creatures.

The treefrog chose to climb in our kitchen.

All photo's were taken with my wifes FZ18 that survived a drop on the concrete in the botanical garden of Bayonne. Unfortunly my wife broke her wrist at that occasion. The shade was damaged, if anyone has a FZ18-shade he is not using..........

keep on shooting!

The good old FZ18 is still delivering excellent images. Well done! Sorry to hear about your wife's injury.
 
Thank you, but I still don't know what butterfly we saw.

How fun!!! I've heard that chickadees are "relatively" easy to train to eat out of your hand, but never heard of a nuthatch doing this!

I've never seen so many chipmunks in all my life as I did today at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington.

Despite your struggles, you got great results.
 
You are welcome, Stevie! And thank you for getting this thread with a bang. This one is my fav, just love the colors, composition and soft, appealing background.

Thanks again for the thread Vickie. Here's a mixed bag of shots from my collection:

Please Mr. Ichiro Kitao, give me a Wildlife Zoom camera (WZ) with a 200 - 2000mm reach and able to take a TC, and with a fast lens and all the goodies to make it fast operationally. And with a big, beautiful EVF. Come on, let's exploit the strengths of a small sensor.

From yesterday hiking in the Grand Mesa National Forest at the edge of the Raggeds Wilderness.



Cattle are common in wilderness areas, part of the compromise to getting the Wilderness Act passed.

I didn't know that.

Oh, yes, I love these wide shots to see and understand the context. And besides, you hike in beautiful places. Thanks for thinking of me! Great pics, most enjoyable post, Mr. Hermit.

The context photo is for Vickie, she seems to like my non-zoo wildlife photos. Not uncommon to see goats halfway up that cliff, doing what goats do.

The ridge line is the wilderness boundary, also the Gunnison NF boundary. For reference this locale is about 7-miles west of Crested Butte, Colo.

Super shots, Yuki. What a pretty setting for the Night Heron. Looks like a good spot to sit and wait for fish. And I'm so jealous of that Osprey shot, really nice one. Congratulations, Yuki!
 
Fun post, Colin!!! Wow, I'm very impressed with these results, 4k pulls, shooting one handed. I want to join the 4K Club!
 
Excellent video, Colin. Did you use some sort of shoulder support to keep it so steady?
bluestarc2k said:
Well I managed to get the 4K video edited and it is now up on YouTube. Enjoy.

Excellent variety and pics, wphx! The TZ70 is a versatile, able, and handy camera, isn't it? Hope to see more from you in future threads.
 
Thank you, Yuki. We are so lucky that we still have lots of trees, big trees around here. Don't know how much longer that will be the case. We've lost a lot of habitat development by development, bit by bit. Even in our established neighborhood with 100' Firs, we can see more daylight every year. Hate hearing chain saws.

Wow Vickie, this is fantastic! I understand that Pileated are hard to find (I've never seen one), and you not only found one but caught him feeding! And great image quality too. Congrats!

First - hope your wife is healing quickly! Must be difficult for her to do every day things with a broken wrist.

Glad the FZ18 survived to get these pics, very nice. Can't help with the butterfly ID, hope someone can.
