Birding

All these pictures have been taken in Switzerland, mostly in the eastern part. There are many better regions for this hobby but it happens to be where I live. Only a small part of these pictures live up to the standard I hope to reach one day. The majority has just documentary value, so "Birding" is a more appropriate title than "Bird Photography".
I love the thrill of hunting so much that I chronically postpone systematic sorting and processing for the gallery. Right now, I have a backlog of about 24 months.

PS: In this gallery you can call me "Sir Cropalot". Most birds around here are rather shy ...

Thank you for the compliment!
I still feel like a beginner and mostly agree with "some".
