The second from the last and the eagle are my picks

Putting all my comments here. Appreciate all your contributions. The hummingbird photos are amazing and capturing swallows in flight is hard. They fly fast!
Thank you Yoshi,

Both hummingbirds and swallows are difficult subjects when they are flying

Looks like a treasured and loyal companion.... even if the other ear was up. 😁
 
Even with your stated limitations you got some good captures. The ongoing joke in my family is I can never bring the right lens or camera in every situation. Ideally if I had a small trailer, I could carry everything and be prepared for anything.

Something about that first one just looked nostalgic, or old timey... then I looked closer and figured, yeah... Well done. Got some people looking deeper.
Oh yeah! I somehow didn't even consider that it might catch people out - these figures are everywhere in the town here so you just get used to them. "Everyday people" they're called, an art installation.
 
Love the light and the way it works with the greens.
 
On a morning with high humidity, smoke from Canada and rapidly rising temperatures I stood still and photographed the little world before me.

One observation is in pic#3 at 1/1250s the wings still show motion blur. They must be flapping at a real high rate!
 
Nicely detailed images with the adapted lens. Don't usually see many images with bees covered in so much pollen.
Thanks Bob. I was just shooting the bees for fun with the long lens. Noticed the pollen only while processing.

Cheers

Correct Bob. Lots of wind keeps them in the air as the can't glide.

After picking up my son at Edinburgh airport, we visited Lauriston Castle, which is a short distance away…. Impressive building and gardens with a great tour guide…well worth a visit.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 with Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 and Fujifilm 16mm f/2.8 R WR.

Cheers, Bob.

Thank you. I was about to leave this place after a meeting, then stopped to glance at the scenery :)

I keep stopping at this and it took me a bit to understand why. First I thought simply because she is so attractive but while very true it's actually the colors and level of sharpness I love here. Love the texture and colors on the mic in particular.
 
A rarely visited part of the UK and a not untypical scene.
