Bird Picture of the YEAR 2025!

Topic: It is not easy for me to pick a favorite picture for any given time span. But yesterday morning, I took my favorite bird image of 2025. This Gorgeous Bush-Shrike was posing in the sun on Thanda Safari for a series of beautiful portraits. One often hears this bird, but it usually only allows a brief glimpse through the branches of trees. For this reason, the occasion and the resulting picture are very special.

Technical data: Canon R6 with RF lens f11/800mm | ISO 800 | 1/500sec | ev+0 | WB 6500K | AV Mode
