Hello, everyone! ๐๐ท๐ฆโโฌ๐ฆ
After a long time, I finally managed to shoot some birds! I've been trying for a while, but I haven't been too successful, so I don't post much in this community. But, now and then, as the Slovenian saying goes, "even a blind hen finds a grain." Swans, I hope they're big enough birds for #smap 235 https://ecency.com/hive-106444/@nelinoeva/feathered-friends-show-me-a-48f05f02e0e7c
The problem I have when shooting birds is that by the time I get ready to take a picture, the bird I'm interested in has already spotted me and, in most cases, flies away. I don't have a camera with a powerful zoom lens; I use my phone. So I only manage to capture pigeons, chickens, or, like yesterday, swans. When I looked at the photos, there were about 20 of them, and I found some of them quite watchable.

Yesterday, I took my wife to Koper to run some errands (read: shopping), and while she was in the shops, I wandered around. And I saw swans! A whole family of them.
I took my phone out of my pocket, strolled past them, taking quick, automatic photos from different angles, but they didn't even notice me. They are used to people. At times, I even thought that the biggest one was posing for me :)
Swans are large water birds with a wingspan of up to two meters. They usually live near freshwater rivers and lakes surrounded by rich vegetation. I am surprised, because there is only a narrow canal here, about 300 meters long, and further on is the sea. Maybe they just came to visit, too? The brown chicks can already fly, I think.
That's all for today, I'll be back when I've gathered some birds :)
Thanks a lot for your attention!
