Good photos. I really like these with their strong black and red colours. I saw them for the first time when in Nambucca Heads earlier this year and then surprisingly saw one locally recently - didn't have a camera with me unfortunately.

These are lovely birds to photograph with their black and white bodies and bold orange accessories.
Super Low POV especially in 1 and 3.
Eyes look good especially the pose in 1 and 2 and the simple backgrounds work well.
Lovely work.
Hope the bands are doing the birds some good!? You would think that one band would be enough if the groups worked together.

The last with him walking straight into the lens is a ripper!
