  1. The next treat is a Wall Creeper. These are one of my favie species in the Himalayas. I see them all over the place and often in unexpected locations. But whenever I visit a temple of any sort, I keep an eye out for them. I know there'll be at one that claims a temple for its own.

    This fella was hanging around the stupa at Chendibji, which is a favie spot for me to visit on the way between Phobjikha and Trongsa.

    This is when a longer lens would really really help, as they are such tiny birds. I've included a huge crop on the second photo so you can see some of the detail in the wings. They flit the wings out to startle bugs, not unlike a wagtail waving its plumage, but more of a sudden flick... and then wait to see if anything panicked!

  3. Here's a special treat for everyone today. Did you even know that this little bird existed? It's a Rufous-vented Tit and they love the higher elevations in Bhutan. They rumble through the lower shrubs in packs, munching on seeds and looking for anything more juicy that might be hiding amongst the foliage.

    These guys happened to flitter close enough to me to get that 500mm into action. Had just finished dodging some yaks when they came along. I enjoy these unplanned encounters with nature so much. Such moments are a gift.

  5. Today we got out for a little birding with our driver. He's super into birds now and loves sharing the local species. Saw a bunch of stuff, but in terms of photos, this proud little Hodgson's Redstart stole the day. Just a charmer, and came close enough for the 500mm to get some action.

  7. Crane story in three acts.

    Have had very few opportunities to get close to the cranes with my telephoto lens in Bhutan this trip, but they have totally been worth it.

  9. 100-500mm Telephoto for L-Mount from LUMIX

    https://youtu.be/fxOv_lc8KmY

    Join me for a closer look at the LUMIX S 100-500mm F5-7.1 OIS, and a closer look at some of the Superb Fairy Wrens that live in the City of Melbourne. This is a full-frame lens designed for L-mount and for this video I'm testing it with the LUMIX S1RII and its 45MP sensor.

  10. Rolfie popped in today. Was proper hungry, so guess we better go shopping and restock the walnut supplies.

    Got a chance to pull out the 100-500mm lens. It's not a macro lens, but still pretty handy for getting in close.

  15. Pretty good day today. Won't see these lovely mountains again until the the year end. That makes me sad, but I must remember how lucky I am to have spent some quality time here

    Have enjoyed escaping from reality for just a little bit, and connecting with a different kind of reality.

  16. This morning we had a hint of light getting underneath the snow clouds. Enough to make us smile.

    I'm using a 60-600mm telephoto by Sigma for this scene. It's a big lens that I usually don't make an effort to take off the shelf. This winter I've really loved having it with me for chasing birds and snow capped peaks.

  17. Every so often I remember to try a panorama of the location where I am. Am rarely disappointed. Something about the compression plus wide aspect feels lovely compared to just shooting with a super wide lens.

    Anyhoo, will start sharing pics outside of Grovfjord soon. Still working my way through the backlog of RAW files. This was taken yesterday when the light was peachy.
