In the flowering Gum.

Both very nice, good eye contact and detail in the feathers.

Thanks for the comment Gabby, was beginning to think that people were bored by my efforts at bird photography.

Actually climbed on to the roof of my house to get level with these fellows. The tree is outside my loungeroom window and naturally when the birds are in the tree the light is behind them and they are too high up for a decent angle!

Just don't fall off. Think it's just really quiet at present - hopefully things will pick up again soon.

Applied radial blur in photoshop on the second Kevin to isolate the bird from the busy background. Don't know whether it's better or worse..just an experiment!
