I found the bird pavilions in the phase of total reconstruction, more precisely their construction from the ground up. On the large bodies of water that the local ZOO has, as otherwise available in the city of water, there were only a few species of water birds in a not very photogenic environment. However, the wonderfully lit water tanks and aquariums, whether with artificial light or the sun&#8217;s rays, provided plenty of suitable photographic objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div id=\"jig9\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-73a1629990f9e9455345afdcad43917d jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig9-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/wroclaw\/B12A7849tit.jpg\" title=\"Canon R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II USM, ,, tripod : no, flash : no, Tv 1\/1000s, Av 2,8, Exp. comp. 0, ISO 400, 22.5.2022, Wroclaw, Poland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/wroclaw\/B12A7849tit.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese garden Wroclaw\" width=\"1017\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Japanese garden Wroclaw<br\/>Canon R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II USM, ,, tripod : no, flash : no, Tv 1\/1000s, Av 2,8, Exp. comp. 0, ISO 400, 22.5.2022, Wroclaw, Poland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div><br><div id=\"jig10\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-dd87dcb4fbdc5fb56802140a31ad7d27 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig10-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/wroclaw\/B12A7771tit.jpg\" title=\"Canon R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II USM, ,, tripod : no, flash : no, Tv 1\/800s, Av 2,8, Exp. comp. 0, ISO 800, 22.5.2022, Wroclaw, Poland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/wroclaw\/B12A7771tit.jpg\" alt=\"Japanese garden Wroclaw\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Japanese garden Wroclaw<br\/>Canon R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II USM, ,, tripod : no, flash : no, Tv 1\/800s, Av 2,8, Exp. comp. 0, ISO 800, 22.5.2022, Wroclaw, Poland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bird photographer&#8217;s heart pounded a little more in the nearby area of the Japanese gardens. The several-hectare area of typical Japanese wooden or stone garden buildings was full of flowering rhododendrons and other shrubs bursting with diverse colors. Of course, there could be no lack of water. Both flowing streams and a relatively large lake, in which all the flowering beauty was reflected.
