Hello!
I'm processing today's photos now, but in the meantime I've got something for you guys!
I shot these late last month. Had to upload them now that I got them processed. :)
Enjoy!
Foraging for food and supplies.
Beak full of supplies...
...to take to the nest...
...and off we fly again!
Hope you liked these, I'll be back soon!

@gamer00,
I think you have more great photography at the pending list! This is amazing Jaro! Specially the last photography! It's a quick shot and you made it great!
Cheers~
Räkättirastas, one of the (perhaps) easiest word to pronounce for foreigners?! 😃🤘🏽
I am Hungarian.
I used an online text to speech service (Mikropuhe Live) to listen to the pronunciation of the word.
The Finnish "ä" is sounds like the Hungarian "á", the Finnish "s" is sounds like the English "s" in most cases, the Finnish "i" is sounds like the Hungarian "é" and the rest of the word is pronunced phonetically.
Based on the pronunciation of the word, we (the Hungarians) would wrote the "s" as "sz" in this case.
The Hungarian pronunciation of the "s" is sounds like the "s" in the English "Sugar" word.
The Räkättirastas would be Rákáttérasztasz.
So it's indeed easy. At least for me.
Hi @explosive! 🤗
Finnish and Hungarian are said to be cognate languages, perhaps that helps the pronunciation.🧐 Interesting.🤗
I just came here to see that a lot of people upvotes their own comments and most of the comments says the usual beautiful, wonderful photography. Just the usual. Nothing original, no explanations.
Why are they upvoting their own meaningless comments?
Why are they can't write something (just a little bit more) meaningful?
For example stating what are you like in these pictures exactly? Why are you like them?
For example:
I like all of the pictures in your post, because they are making a completele series, which shows the basic life of the birds to us. Collecting food and supplies, standing with it and taking it to the nest and then flying out from the nest. My favorite pictures are the first, because thanks to the good macro photo, the ground and the bird is also well detailed, and the fourth picture, because I like how you catched the moment of the flying out from the nest.
The making of these photos must have took some time (above the few weeks of processing) and patience, so thank you for having and taking the time, as well as having the patience to take these photos! I really appreacite the effort and the work you put into this post!
Some people don't, they just want attention and they are commenting for their own good.
Excuse me, if my English is wrong. I am not a native English speaker, but I still trying to write a good, meaningful comment.
I agree with you xplosive. Just saying nice post or nice photos is meaningless. A lot of effort has gone into it at least acknowledge that and post a proper comment.
I couldn't agree more on this whole sentiment. I've been wondering why people keep self-upvoting while it is kind of obvious my smallest vote is often much larger than their own 100% vote. Some times I feel bad because I they choose not getting a vote from me.
But yes, I've noticed this trend of writing nonsense and upvoting it. I'm thinking of flagging those just for the sake of making it a clear statement that this will not fly in my blog. Maybe I will one day.
And thank you for your excellent comment. I am flattered and actually feel good over the fact that you understand what I am trying to do. :)
Not many do understand what it takes to hone something they do until they become good at it. (That's not to say I'm even close to actually being good at what I do, but I'm gradually progressing that direction now that I eventually know what I want from my pictures.)
Good pictures brother! the three photos were taken at exact and special times to describe a beautiful story
Hi gamer. That is a fascinating set. Shows the whole story from getting the food to the nest. Must have taken you a while to get this set but worth the wait.
Thank you! :)
All animals have stories, and it seems that I am not content just posting a singular photo (as in OPED), it turns out I've gone more and more to the side of story telling.
I have noticed your stories getting longer. Makes it interesting though as you tell us what you are thinking. Becomes more personal.
Pose for mister, pose with some props, Pose some more and show off my house, now lets show a trick to the camera. How do you make them do it? Great photos though! :D
Hey dude, the last one takes ufff, big shot, the perfect moment in flight. Now let me ask you something. The camera approach did you do manual for that shot in motion?
Thanks!
It's not just a snapshot, meaning that while waiting, I had already figured out the settings (with test shots) before the bird returned to the nest, so all I had to do is wait for the right moment, focus and snap. I used auto-focus on those but like you see, the bird wasn't fully in focus, as the lens is slow and the bird is fast.
OK, if it usually happens in automatic approaches, I remember that sometimes I used to cheat by putting the camera in sports mode, ajajajajajajaja had a Canon 30D with which I worked a lot until the last of his days. ha ha ha ha ha ha
Love these shots mate. Very busy birds as are most thrushes so having an opportunity to get a good look at them is appreciated. Must make you think of your own day being a parent in some ways with all the feeding, fetching, caring, keeping warm, protecting and so on.
Keep em coming
Wow! These are exceptional photos for me! I could never take photos of birds! You caught him in motion of taking off!!! Great skills and lots of patience too!
You have been enjoying the spring photography!
So glad there are so many birds out and about. This means there is plenty of food in nature.
Yea, I do like it. But do you know the name of the bird? Great shot @gamer00
Yes and we all know it as well, because you can find the name of the bird in the title of the post.
Both the English (Fieldfare) name and the Finnish (Räkättirastas) name and the scientific (Turdus pilaris) name are also in the title of the post.
I see that you are from Mexico and you speak Spanish. Well I don't (I speak only English and Hungarian), but I took the time to check the Spanish name of the bird.
The Spanish name of this bird is Zorzal real.
@turpsy's been a long-time follower of mine and is fairly smart, so I'm leaning toward the possibility he just didn't notice and forgot to check before posting his comment. ;)
Or then he is just joking, because there have been people asking the same question almost every post, it makes good sarcasm. Which I think is okay too.
I don't know him, I just made a quick check on his Steemit profile yesterday evening.
If that's the case (joke/sarcasm), then I would like to say sorry for the inconvinience!
I didn't realized that the comment is a joke and/or sarcastic.
I took/thought that his question is serious.
The fact that you put weeks of work into this post and some (a lot of) people didn't even took the time (just a few minutes) to properly read the post and write a proper comment made me upset.
But his reputation (60) should have made some sense to me and should have convince me otherwise in this case.
60 is a seriously good reputation, considering/taking into account the fact that the default reputation is 25 and spammers rarely have it and the sizes of the titles of the posts on Steemit are in big size, so it's hard not to notice, when the answer for your question is in the title, so yes, it's probably joke/sarcasm.
It's a fieldfare... I thought it was in the title.
Holy Potatoes in my face! These photos are great!
It's so hard to make rare bird photos.
Well @gamer00 i am convinced that you have wonderful skill to use the lens in a wonderful way. Like the way you captured that photograph in which bird is going to fly, is really really appreciable <3
you had a good follow-up to the bird to be able to capture those pictures! all those kind of things count to be a good photographer and my brother those qualities you already have
Thanks for the encouragement, bro. :)
You are supported by me bro
Finally you've caught the flying rare bird. Oh I'd love to see it from different angles.
So sad that you can't stop the time and pick any angle you want lol.
Haha on pic 3 bird looks like it's thinking "omg will this human stop stalking me" :DD
i guess You wait for a while with camera on eyes to captured the last photo of "1st move of flying".
Yeah, keeping birds as pets is something I don't like very much, because it needs to be terrible to be so confined to a cage when you long for stretxhing your wings and fly high up the sky.
In nature there are predators, ok, but the natural cycle is the most harmonious regardless.
Great friend @game00. I really liked the photo of the bird taking off in free fall. Honestly I do not know much about birds but that in particular is very similar to one that abounds where I live. I do not know what it's called, but since I was little, they call it "potoca". Regards!!!
These photos show their art with the processing of the photos or is that their lens is not as bad as it says in previous publications. Very nice your photos!!
Wow buddy they are indeed amazing and loved them.They are indeed perfect shots.
What life is there in these birds.
I didn't get them from a taxidermist if that's what you mean.
Wonderful work thanks for sharing all those wonderful pictures, as well as your own ketchup on site flickr , we Take advantage of your experience in professional image capture. Thank you .

Discussed in some extraordinary landscapes, especially the five that you mean to me are beautiful and very good to me. @resteem and @upvote done.

This bird, popularly known as a guest bird in winter, comes to visit different countries and makes a living in that country.
I've seen birds in many countries of USA and Europe. This bird is quite calm and they love people mainly, I think every person should know about this bird.
This is wonderful, wonderful! Be the bird. You are the bird. Sacrifice yourself to abandoned family values....
Some beautiful bird photography. Those was mind blowing, enjoyed your beautiful birdy photography with a shinny day.
Have a Good day Buddy.
Amazing photographs and first one is awesome, i think not only people but also animal like this beautiful weather and you are the great photographer i know, best wishes for you.
Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
Some excellent photography that lighten up my day. @gamer00 i always like your adorable photography
today this one was best
Hey Jaro I just wonder how a Linux expert, software developer can interested in photography and can capture beautiful photo. It just always impress me. Good job keep going we will glad to see more extreme in future .
Well I'm not a software developer that's for sure, but I do know my way around Linux, and it's my number one choice when it comes to photography oriented software, as it is both free and amazing. If I were a software developer, I'd still choose Linux. :)
But yes, photography is my main thing these days. Glad you like my photos.
But if someone visit your profile they will think first that you are professional programmer like i thought. I like Linux too but it's hard than other but Powerful than other languages too.
Beautiful looking your nature photography, I love this birds..... best of luck my dear friend.
Upvote and resteemit.
That's another great post you are great photographer
Wow.... beautiful 🐦. Excellent photography.....@gamer00
Your photography is very beautiful and it's very nice about the topic that you've posted on blogs. We like it very well for your bird's relationship complexity and very happy content.
You constantly present beauty themes, hope you love your beauty and I think that the content you want to convey and the natural things here are enjoyed by the solar energy is very nice.
Thanks... I guess. (It all started very well, but come the end I was lost and didn't understand at all what you were saying.)

Your various degrees of bird's reactions very impressive. Yeah..great photography collected near by location @gamer00. Last one really amazing. It took on-time without any delay of flying reaction. These shots telling me great story.
Wow, very interesting shots... What lens did you use? I don't think you used the super carenar..
