    I was out practicing tracking skills on a group of Barn Swallows yesterday, not able to get any good shots. But this Little Egret standing in front of reeds just before sunset seems to trigger a peaceful mood. #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #photography #nature

    Damselflies, also from Putian City two days ago. I switched to 18-135mm lens this time. It&amp;#39;s against the sunlight so more of a silhouette vibe. See you all next week. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography

    I kept bumping into Common Kingfisher. I waited for two hours to see this kingfisher landing on this branch, but it&amp;#39;s then chased off by the Chinese Pond Heron before I could see some fish catching actions, spotted at a small park in Putian City last week. #birdsInChina #birds #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #photography

    Another shot of Javan Plover from Pingtan Island beach. It&#39;s playing with this rock and this is the one of the moment when it&#39;s jumping from the rock and just about to land on the sands. #birds #wildlife #animals #wildlifephotography #birdphotography

    Took a morning walk at Rushui Forest Park again, and spotted this cute pair of Speckled Piculets, a unique tiny woodpecker. The bird on the right just fed the juvenile bird on the left.

    After using TAMRON 150-600mm G1 lens on Canon 80D for almost six months, I wrote up a short post to share some personal thoughts.

    I am really shamed of sharing this. But here we go, the story behind it: I was out birding at a local park and saw a man carrying a bird.
