Fun with the featherd friends

in #hive-1064444 days ago

Hello friends,

How many times have you seen the birds to poop? Maybe not so often, but traces of their activity is under the branches, feeders, nests... How many times have you seen them doing this while in flight? I guess even less. So, it was really a lucky coincidence to photograph the buzzard in action.

I saw the bird hovering above and I thought how close the raptor was for some nice shots. While I was clicking I saw something hanging and I thought - oh my god, the buzzard was pooping, keep on shooting.

After the pictures were downloaded I was pleased to know that I had two shots worth the effort. And here they are

The buzzard lowered the legs and... shoot. 😀

I wonder on which head it might landed.

As a matter of fact the seagulls are notorious for aiming people's heads. They couldn't care less where they will poop. But the buzzard was a different story.

Anyhoo, it was funny experience and although I didn't get it as sharp as I wish, it was worth sharing.

Another funny moment I have caught was with a seagull diving in the sea.

I love to be on the beach in winter. There are few people there walking and watching the swans. The seagulls make the show. They fight, dive, try to steal any food, always some drama.

I found interesting how well these birds dive in the water. Actually they feed on almost everything and as far as could see, some were picking jellyfish.

And now the sequence of images and how the seagull dives.

And I will finish with this photo of the pair of headless swans. 😀
They buried their heads in water simultaneously.

Good morning dear friend @nelinoeva
I can't believe you took such accurate shots, photographing birds in flight is difficult, much more so having the opportunity to photograph the bird defecating.
Beautiful bird photos, thank you very much for sharing them with us
Have a lovely day

It was another lucky shot and I was on th right spot at the right time. 😀
Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

I saw chickens poop often since my mum has them but never a bird during flight. Beautiful photos!

Thank you, glad you like my photos. 🙂

Oh my, you have captured such unusual photography here.

Glistening poop coming down the second photo with lighting was a superb capture, as you say happy landings....

Have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much Joan. 🙂
This was a rare moment, but I am glad I had it in frame.

Timing you never realize was spot on until you in front of the computer looking at it, that was amazing!

Absolutely. That is why my finger is on a shutter button constantly. One never knows what will be caught. 🙂

Haha, what a funny photo and description! One day, "something" flew onto my window glass. It was a black kite flying in the yard.

Oh,my windows got stains from time to time too, from seagull mainly. 😀
