July 2025 - The Offer
About the Image(s)
Actually I'm drowning in work; unedited works waiting for me. Over 10.000 shots must be rated and new challenges are awaiting!
So this one is from June 2023. We got a hint where we can watch these beautiful birds. Before they are digging there holes upto 2 meters into an incline, the hen wants to know, if the rooster can feed her during the long time in earth. He has to present big insects; not smaller than bees. If she accept presents a few time, the family is planned. She took the offer this time!
Aperture 5,6; 800mm; 1/2500 shutter speed and 4000 ISO with Canon R5 and 400mm Canon 2.8 with 2xExtender.
