It took several attempts, but eventually I learned how to approach blackcaps.

My friend, a birder from UK, told me that they were pretty common back home, but he hasn't seen any here in Czechia for a very long time, so he was surprised when i sent him these pics

For the last two days, I’ve been stalking Blackcaps. You hear them everywhere here, but they’re shy and either hide deep in the branches or fly away. I hid myself for 2h, apparently successfully, since deer were walking calmly past me just 10 meters away. And I got a few pics.

From today’s walk
My favorite spot was full of blackcaps, and I spent 2h chasing them, but they kept hiding behind branches :)
On the way back I caught a nicely posing Black Redstart, a Common Buzzard, and even got flight shots of a Willow Warbler and a Starling.

You are welcome, Ian. I prefer birds, too

I love the sheer force in the robins’ song during spring.

Tried luring also a woodpecker by playing its song while it sat on a nearby tree. I guess the video also had some nuthatch calls, because one landed right next to me aggressively and acted a bit eccentric while the audio was playing. Anyway, the close‑ups turned out quite okay.
