veeeeery nice images! Welcome to PBPF vesmes! I love the shrikes you posted! The winter months are near and you will miss your avian friends there. But don't worry, if they migrate to here, we will welcome them with open arms (and cameras)

Wow!! Bulgarian birds!! Awesome captures!! I like the Male Shrike best. The woodsandpiper reaches our shores as well during the winter migration, that's one heck of long journey!! You are most welcome in this forum Vesmes!! please do post more from your side of the world so that we could enjoy the avian beauty that probably we won't be able to see in person nor photograph. Please put shooting details so that we could also learn from your techniques. Cheers

Welcome Vesmes! Great shots, very clean, nice details and clean backgrounds (BG), great composition!
Looks like they are similar to the birds here. The first one looks like a blue rock thrust, the second a brown shrike, the fourth a snipe or sandpiper, the fifth an egret or heron (though I think it's a kind of a crane?).

I am also using a 200mm with the pictures that I took recently on my trip. I can definitely say that your picture images are a lot better. Welcome to the Forum and we would like to see more of your pictures with shooting details. How close were you to the birds? Your pictures are very clear. Well done Vesmes.
