Thanks for your comment

Un altro "piccolo" capolavoro!Complimenti,ciao..

Excellent capture Giangiorgio. They are such a beautiful bird. I saw the lens mentioned that you are using. I have not seen a 800mm lens!! I shall have to look it up on the Internet. It must be quite a heavy one!! But so essential to capturing subjects such as this lovely bird!

Large view looks so good with nice details and soft light,excellent contrast with bg.Is really interesting how birds in general succeed to built a nest,and sometime how resistant it is in hard weather moments.Your lot of passion and patience has a result like is seen in your photos with birds.Compliments for this,a good light to you.

A really beautiful result with very nice lighting, Giangiorgio!
