Not a lot of action at Polder Glies but at least I was able to shoot my first cuckoo ever. The little Barn Swallow wasn’t scared and sat at the look out so I had to move backwards to get into shooting distance.

Helgoland
Daytrip to Helgoland. Both 150-600 lenses and the Nikkor 200-400 together with the D7200 and D4 were used for several shots. Mainly doing close-ups and in flight shots. More Helgoland pictures from this trip by clicking one of the pictures which takes you to the SmugMug gallery.
