Morning walk in my favorite forest.

I am late today; the sunrise is coming and I should have been at the watch place already.

A male chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) sounds the alarm in the forest.

The goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis)

The little owl is always staring.

Long-tailed bush-tit (Aegithalos caudatus)

Despite all the forest spies I arrive at the watching place in silence. After a short waiting the prize comes out.

Maybe in other places the deer are habituated to humans, but in this forest they are extremely shy.

Somehow, they feel my presence; maybe they smell me or hear the shutter.

I like when I succeed to take photos of wild animals without scaring them. And this time they walked away slowly, at normal pace.
