That's a fight. I've seen blue tits and sparrows having the same style of fight. Quite surprising how savagely these cute birds occasionally have at each other. Would upload one of my images, too, but somehow today flickr doesn't like me.

I visited a place in Holland where a family of kingfishers nested 2 years ago. Back then I had only my 70-200mm and my A7r V and barely could get some decent images. With that opportunity in mind, I schlepped my A1 II and the GM 300mm plus both TCs this time around. There is a good chance that I will go back there before going home. And here is the first image edited using iPad only and without any denoising work that will have to be done later.

Louie, thanks so much. I hear them often but they normally stay in the trees this season.

Vaux's Swift: Following local birding post, visited mentioned location for ground level Vaux's Swift last Saturday. First time BIF practice on this bird although I had limited encounter with the White-Throated Swift at higher elevation a few months back. Small flock of close to 10. Faster than Swallows that my 70 year old arms and eyes could barely keep up. Too many captures at tight crop levels only/small in the frame. Observed three colorings - brownish side, greyish side and blackish side.
Last two images at tight crops played with Topaz Gigapixel for some upscaling (1.5X) and details enhancement. Gigapixel sometimes it works and sometimes not. As for BIF, need to practice some more for better captures.
