I love shooting Fujifilm but what the heck is going on here?
Fujifilm’s X Half camera is so dedicated to the analog vibes, it can’t shoot RAW
Half the sensor size of an X100VI and nearly half the price.

A Socotra Cormorant warms himself in the sun.

These are a threatened species due in part to the limited number of breeding sites available to them.

An Eurasian Moorhen doing some early morning fishing.
These are quite chatty birds while they’re hiding in the bush, but very shy unless you’ve camped out in a spot long enough for them to come out of hiding. A beautiful bird.

Winter in Hamburg, Germany is wild. One day it’s 10-degrees and raining, the next day it’s -5 and sunny, the next day it’s 3 and fog so thick, you can drink it.

Here’s beautiful St. Michael’s (Hauptkirche St Michaelis) ringed in dense fog.

It’s getting cold out.
Snuggle up like an Indian Silverbill.

Happy Thanksgiving to my family and friends back home in America!

Little Grebes everywhere you look.

I am very impressed by how long these fishing pros can stay submerged.

Back on my heron theme:
Here is another rare Qatar visitor. A Grey Heron.

This was in May when the temps here are well into the 40s (over 105F)!

Check out his tongue. He was def stressing.

So jazzed to find this guy plucking crabs out of the marsh.

Striated and Black Cap Herons are rarely seen in Qatar.

Finding some shore birds in Qatar. Particularly excited about curlews, godwits, and redshanks coming back for the winter.

Found this cute Stonechat as it hunted insects in thick brush.

These guys love wintering in Northern Africa and the Arabian coasts. They’re rapid, insanely accurate insect gatherers.

Eurasian Marsh Harriers at play.

One of them, sadly, tampered with by a human. You can see a rope on the legs of the younger harrier. It was either being trained to hunt or had escaped.

Bar-Tailed Godwits are an amazing, near-threatened species that travel thousands of miles *in one shot* from their breeding sites in the Arctic all the way down to Africa and the Arabian coasts this time every year.

Wagtails are some of my favorite birds, their distinctive flight and ground movements. A real joy to watch them tracking down and munching on bugs. Here, a White Wagtail enjoys splashing waves and a rare cool breeze here in Qatar.
