Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 124

in Feathered Friendslast year

Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 124!

In our corner of the world, the summer brings heat and it is getting harder to find birds for decent photos. During the day it is not advised to stay out especially at noon. Mercifully, the weekend is cool, windy, but more pleasant. And yet, I have not much to show and I have to look at my previous photos. So, here we are with a new round and let it be Free Theme again.

My entry this week Dust Bathe or Sunbathe

IMG_5293.JPG

Very cold winter day today in our part of the world well for us, bird photography obviously in much warmer weather, Saturday 30C Sunday and today 15C with wind chill 13C.

And possibly this is not a bath at all ... but a parasites-therapy ? ... 🤔

Would not be surprised as the small gremlins bother them as well!

This is such a nice capture. 🙂

Really opening up to let the sun in, have a wonderful day!

Variety of life in birds showcased, excellent photography with House Martins enjoying themselves.

House martins are very fast, but this place is their favourite to wash or gather mud for their nests.
Hope to see your entry soon. 🙂

Similar to our swallows and swifts, zip in and out at high speed, gorgeous!

Cool pics of the House Martins. The one flying looks very similar to the Barn Swallows we see around here.

The barn swallows are slightly longer and once I got one, thinking it was house martin. I can't find that photo. Quite often I see them flying together.

Very nice photos @nelinoeva. Hope will get many entries and nice to see birds around the world. 🐦🐦

Thank you very much, @hindavi
I hope you will enter again.

Ooh my God
The birds look good and the incentives look good too
I'll try to take the pictures of birds around me
