[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A collegue of mine who had been to Poland last year and "promised me" hundreds of Red backed shrikes (Lanius collurio). Full of expectations I went on a holiday to Poland. Whatever it was I saw,....no shrikes. Just a single one popped up every now and then. This female sat on a pole on the campsite I stayed. According to the remains on the pole it had been there before. The bird didn't allow me to come close in all attemps to approach it. Therefor I took the car and voilá....I could get a lot closer.
In the next weeks I saw more and more shrikes. They just had to arrive. By the end of the holiday i have seen plenty of them.

Hi
very nice, perfect sharpness and lovely BG.
As the sharpness is absolutely great, it would probably be possible to crop the original much more, but compo is already perfect

Gorgeous relaxed shot Jacob...perseverance has paid off. Best, Brat.

I'm glad you got to see what you wanted to see in Poland. A vehicle does make a very good blind indeed. This is a lovely little bird. I love the soft colors. The photo looks very natural. sharpness and exposure are perfect.

Hallo Jacob.

Wat een schitterend getekend vogeltje is dit. De teerheid straalt eraf. Je hebt dat zeer goed vastgelegd op de gevoelige plaat. Volgens mij was je iets te vroeg in Polen. Achtergrond, POV zijn klasse. Een plaatje om te zien. Groeten en TFS Bob

A sharp image where I like delicate feathers on the diffuse background.
Me gusta la luz suave y la atmósfera serena de la foto.

Hello Jacob,
Of your shots that I missed while away, I chose this one for its fine quality and tranquility. The sharpness composition and lighting are perfect and the BG makes the otherwise quite dull female stand out well,
Great pose and POV too.
Cars are very useful to allow us to take fine shots like this.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan
