I love photographing birds in flight. The challenge is great, and when I succeed - I am very satisfied.
This Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robin flew straight at me while singing, this morning not far from home. What a stunner. Sound recording here:

In Hebrew, Eastern Black-eared Wheatear is 'Summer Wheatear' (סלעית קיץ). Finsch's Wheatear is 'Winter Wheatear' (סלעית חורף). One has just arrived, the other is leaving soon. Nice to get both in one frame, this morning

This male Eastern Black-eared Wheatear took up residence near my daughter's school. He's been using this tiny patch of nothing for almost a week now. It's very busy there with lots of kids, dog-walkers, joggers, traffic etc. Today I even heard him singing quietly. Migration magic
