Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 129!

I haven't got an idea of what this round would be. Until this morning, when during our routine walk with the dog, hubby and I saw the female Golden Oriole flying not far and landing on one top branch. How lucky is that? Usually we hear the oriole first and then we look for it. This time the bird was silent. Finding the Golden Oriole is quite challenging.

And that is how the idea for Round 129 came to life - LUCKY SHOT. How many times you were thinking you got the best shot and it turned out to be not focused, blurred? And then, suddenly you are in the right place with bird standing in front of you and your finger on the shutter finger? And this is the shot you did not expect, but you were lucky. Or, some action scene you caught accidentally? Or a rare bird, you saw for the first time and managed to photograph?

ROUND 129

SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD/S

LUCKY SHOT

Hoopoe is a bird I have the pleasure to see in the park during the summer. But two hoopoes is a double pleasure. What I consider lucky shot is the moment I caught the parent feeding the younger one.

Now is your turn and let me see your photos of birds, but first read carefully the rules below⬇️

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:

• The photo must be your own.
