Waxwing Bird - The lost berry
Slightly lightly larger than a Bullfinch. The body is a uniform light brown colour, with small black patches around the eye and on the chin. The vent is dark red in colour, while there is a thin white stripe on the wing. Just below this white stripe is a small group of red feathers similar to a blob of wax, which gives the Waxwing its name. I only saw two last year

Little-blue Heron, Costa Rica
The Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) breeds from Central and East USA to Central America, Peru and Uruguay. Its natural habits are freshwater marshes, lagoons, rivers, estuaries, salt ponds, mudflats, and mangroves. The oldest are 61 cm (24 inches) in height and 325 g in weight.
Its body and wings are dark bluish gray. Head and neck dull dark maroon, and gray facial skin. Bill grayish with black tip, and legs grayish-green. Its diet is based on fishes and insects.
View From A Balcony
Spotted these wonderful clouds and grabbed a shot with my phone. A short time later it had completely clouded over.
Ps. I also shot this scene with a Sony A7RV ..... just imported the pics to Lr.... and I have to say the iPhone pic is better. I think the iPhone had a more sympathetic focal length, plus the internal processing on the iphone works wonders. I did tweak the iphone highlight and shadow settings and applied some vertical adjustment.

Air2S drone shots taken from my front garden or at least above my garden in Killarney. Suddenly clouds broke and some serious colour appeared from nowhere. It was too late to head out with the camera so sent up the drone to useful effect.

In Dublin
I’ve never tried “street photography”, I’m not great with people!
I elected to go with my old D40X and a 70-300mm (100 – 450mm on an APS sensor). The D40X is just 9 m-pixels (which was reasonable when I bought it), but it’s lighter, easier to carry and feels less intrusive than the full frame D810.
I wandered through Westland Row, Trinity College and into Grafton Street which was unusually quiet, but on a side street there was a lone busker, In Dublin.
I tried to use the street bollards to pull the eye into the subject. Another day perhaps….

Macro Day
I have macro lens; it’s main use is that when I wake up at night worrying that I can’t do Macro photography, I can go back to sleep.
I have Sigma 105mm F2.8 that I bought second hand for ~€280, which is cheaper than sleep medication and much less invasive.
But this morning it was a gloomy day and so I thought “indoor photography!” I am tired of trying to shoot flowers as well, they always end up looking like flowers (insects are good but they run away) – So I headed for my turntable.
I have no idea what I am doing in macro, but one thing I found is that I get very frustrated when I put my camera on my tripod – it’s very rigid to change the point of view. So this time I scouted a number hand held shots at ISO 128000 (1/800 sec) from different angles and found something that was OK and then I put my camera on a tripod and dropped the shutter speed to 1/80 and ISO 3200-ish and reshot. (Mind you the ISO 12800 wasn’t too bad – I really like my D810)
I still don’t know if I like this shot, the cartridge is a bit central, but I didn’t want the tone arm handle going out of the picture and I didn’t want to push back any more. Also if don’t like turntable cartridges, it might not rock your boat (my significant other was very sceptical).
But it burnt a few hours and kept me amused.
(Negative comments welcomed…)

Just grabbed my iPhone as sky lit up, it was -2 and although freezing it was a welcome change from rain. Was out taking a sunrise with all my photography gear two days before this and no colour in the sky.

Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher
This is a very beautiful bird, found in Costa Rica’s highlands. The conspicuous crest, the long tail and the delicate, silky plumage make this bird very elegant.
The Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher is not globally threatened, despite the restricted range. It is common in suitable habitats but the population is small.The adult male has bluish-grey upperparts including back, rump, uppertail-coverts and upperwing-coverts. Flight-feathers and rectrices are black. Both adults have white areas on the middle portion of the inner webs of the black tail feathers, except on central pair of rectrices. The plumage is soft and glossy.
