Black-headed Gull (Larus ridibundus) chasing a Common Tern [ro. chira de baltă] (Sterna hirundo) for the freshly caught fish.
European Bee-Eater birds (Merops apiaster) - colorful but very small and very far, so cropping was a must.
Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) nest [left] and a colony of ants [right].
The Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui) [left] and the Red Admiral (Vanessa Atalanta) [right] butterflies, both with parts of their wings missing.
European hoverfly (Eristalis tenax), also known as the drone fly (or "dronefly"). The last picture was taken with a Hoya +4 close-up filter in front of the lens (no crop). Not exactly the best quality for macro photography but the best portability in the absence of a dedicated macro (1:1) lens.
