    To me, woodpeckers are one of the most successful birds in different environments, using local resources while providing shelter and food for other animals. Last week, I saw a European Crested Tit in the forest using a woodpecker nest. It was wonderful to see how each organism is linked to the others in a very complex interactions for the benefit of all.

    I was surprised when I listened for the first time the sound of the Middle-spotted Woodpecker, which sounded like a suffering pig.

    My favorite woodpecker adaptations are their tongues, the length and structure of tongues are really amazing.

    That have surprised me the most was that the woodpecker species that looked alike are not closely related to each other. What a beautiful birds !

    I haven't used any software to edit my photos yet, but with this course I can already take better photos that I will edit later with Lightroom or Photoshop. Thank you so much Melissa. DSC00217

    Photos of birds in flight are still difficult for me, I have already tried several times and most of the time the photos are not sharp. I will continue to put into practice the advice given by Mélissa in this course to improve my skills. Here is a Eurasian Jay, which I was able to photograph in flight although the photos are not of good quality. DSC00149DSC00153DSC00156

    One day I saw two Eurasian Magpies building a nest, I told myself that they were going to nest this year in front of my apartment. I stayed for a long time observing and taking photos of them. Afterwards, I was surprised to see they were taking the twigs from an old nest to build their nest in another tree further away... DSC00118DSC00130DSC00131

    In this photo of the Eurasian Magpie, I tried to use the rule of thirds, but at the same time show the alignment of the bird's tail with the branches. I realized afterwards that it would be better to use the camera's grid pattern to take the photo to following the rule of thirds. DSC00091

    Yesterday afternoon I went to a park near my neighborhood. I saw a goose there that seemed sick. At first I stayed away for a long time, then I stayed closer without disturbing him. Others birds came near but I didn't take any photo of them. DSC00214

    I want to be able to obtain good quality pictures of birds, either in flight or in their natural habitat, for identification purposes and for their documentation also. DSC00230

    I observe birds in front of my apartment, here in France. Most of the time, there are numerous House Sparrows, Common Woodpigeons, Eurasian Collared-Doves, Eurasian Magpies, Eurasian Jays, European Blackbirds, etc. Last year I purchased a Sony DSC-RX10 iv, as I want to use the camera for bird identification and recording my field observations. But unfortunately, I have no enough knowledge in photography and sometimes I think that I am not improving my photography skills despite my efforts. This is why I decided to take this course.

    @Suzanne Hello Suzanne, I have two different dates, August 4th and August 8th, 2023 (the same month and year), because I didn't finish my drawing on the first day. Sometimes I take a lot more time to improve my drawings and I add the date of the days when I modified them. Thank you very much for your comment.
