Not long ago, I purchased a new telephoto lens—the Fujinon 150-600mm—which has allowed me to significantly improve my bird photography. The increased focal length means I can now observe and photograph birds from a much closer perspective without disturbing them. This lens has truly opened up new possibilities and helped me better capture the detail and character of these fascinating creatures.
Over the past few weeks, I have had the opportunity to visit several birdwatching locations across southern Moravia. These included the scenic ponds near Jaroslavice, the peaceful waters around Mutěnice, as well as the wetlands of Dubňany and Hodonín. Each of these places offered a unique atmosphere and a variety of bird species to observe and photograph.
Capturing a bird in flight is no easy feat. It requires a camera with a reliable tracking system, or at least one that is fast and has a long lens. Additionally, you need a flying bird that is flying close enough and not too fast. If the bird is flying too far away, some details may be lost in the shot.
Luckily, I found a place by one of Lednice's ponds where many birds had gathered, and some were taking to the skies. Others stayed on the water, creating a beautiful and serene scene.

The pond near Dubnany in South Moravia is not just a body of water, but a bustling ecosystem of various flora and fauna. One of the most fascinating sights to behold at the pond is the birds fishing. With its serene atmosphere and natural beauty, it's no wonder why so many birds call it their home.
