Big Day

Twenty-four hours later, I am back on a work trip in Munich for two days. Took the Canon 1D X Mark II for the first tour in our local forest: a fox cub, a group of deer, a Eurasian jay, a starling, a barn swallow and a long-tailed tit.

A Eurasian jay perched on an oak branch among fresh green leaves, the bright blue patch on its wing visible against a clear blue sky
