Spring... the magical season when Nature comes back to full speed life. All the birds also get somehow "activated" and their songs saturate the silence of the yard.
Now some may call these beauties "flying rats" and find their cooking irritating but I don't agree. They are beautiful indeed and their cooking definitely calms my nerves. Their song is perfect to take a nap! :)
The first photo from this series is my entry to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 153 "Black and White" by 
I had few moments of relative trust with these guests, here are some more pictures in color and black and white. Photo EXIF data after the last capture.

You probably know by now how much I love Black & White or sometimes referred as Monochromatic photography. I have always believed that while Color Photography shows the external part of our world, Black and White Photography shows the soul, the inner hidden side of everything.
