Red-browed Finch

[Alan]

Neochmia temporalis, Wamboin yesterday. A few of these little guys have turned up in the last week. I still haven't managed to get a decent shot, so this will have to do for the time being.

These guys are impossible to shoot. I don't know how you did it!

Lovely shot by the way.

Well done nailing one of these Alan. I see flocks of these birds up here, they ground feed on grass seeds and are very difficult to approach.

Thanks gentlemen. I always have my camera on the tripod, just in case.

Cheers

Now that is called pre-planning your shot. I see heaps of these at the wetlands and agree they are very flighty and hard to get a pic. Very sharp.

I'd be thrilled with your "this will have to do" shot. Finches are very fast little things so great shot. Such a pretty little bird too.

not a bad shot to get you started on the species, the light wasnt your friend.
can be bummers to approach too.
