Hello,

Let me take you to our local reeds in the search of their noisy inhabitants. “Beka” reserve is a conservation area supporting a wide variety of animals, both fish, invertebrates, mammals and birds alike. And is the only one in Poland including stretch of sea in its boundaries. During spring and summer entrance is close due to breeding season, however outside of reserve a huge reedbed continues along with some flowery meadows giving a lot of photographic opportunities. I went there shooting mainly birds and funnily it turned out that every outing only one single species was generous to pose. But every session a different one was cooperative, so all in all I have managed to score few keepers of couple different species😊 In the pictures you can find: western yellow wagtail, citrine wagtail (quite rare in Poland), winchat, sedge warbler and common rose finch.
One of the shots, guess which one 😊, managed to win a prize in a competition, which I am very proud of!

I hope you like the images too! Enjoy!

P.S. all the pictures were resized to 2048p and then to 1600p on flickr. Most of them in original could be easily printed on A3 size paper with good quality 😊

Cheers,
Michal

Thanks, the habitat is great and it is a lovely palce to enjoy the morning. I just wish that leaving the bed was easier.

Thanks Justin! Getting those backgrounds was a bit tricky, but it is possible to either get really close to blow the backgrounds or find a bird on a reed sticking a bit out from the rest.

Wonderful set. Just the right amount of background blur to use some of the out of focus reeds as composition elements. Thanks for sharing the large versions to see the detail in the cute little birds which you captured so well.

Really enjoyable set--very intimate and moody as if I was there with you.

Your compositions are very pleasing and I enjoyed seeing your mix of species, beautifully photographed.

Thanks Jim.
I lover shooting in the reeds as the in focus and out of focus reeds sometimes create awesome patterns. In general any habitat with patterns and symmetry is awesome!
