Observing sunbirds in South Africa, due to the similarities in behavior and coloration, there are associations with the hummingbirds in the New World. But in terms of taking pictures there is quite different situation. When photographing the hummingbirds in Costa Rica or Argentina (of course in the special places where they were fed) the problem was only when the photographer was not quick enough. While in South Africa we managed to watch several species of sunbirds, but as it was case in South Africa, taking pictures was a problem, and it was quite a big problem.

Procellariiformesare among the very difficult and rarely photographed birds by me. This time the opportunity came during a cruise between Sardinia and Corsica. The Scopoli's Shearwater flew close enough to the ship several times to produce the first photos of this species. A double success! One, that it is a new, difficult, sea bird species, and two, that it is a species included in the fauna of Poland. It is a pity that Levantine shearwater, which always showed up in groups of a few to a dozen individuals, always kept at a much greater distance.
