Cockies at the lake

[Isac]

This branch is popular with local birds, it must be the right thickness and in the right spot to keep an eye on the enemy.
All with the Tammy 18-400 at 400mm, you know - the one that's glued to my 7Dii.

#1 - Twenty Eight Parrot checking out the lay of the land.

#2 - Twenty Eight Parrot fluffing up for a nearby mate.

#3 - Lady Pink & Grey, looking to the heavens.

#4 - The Willie Wagtail waiting for Charlie and I when we got home from our daily stroll.

A beaut collection of images - and it shows the great sharpness of the 'superzoom' you are enjoying so much

A really nice set of images Isac, it's a shame #2 was facing the wrong way, but still a nice capture. We get quite a few parrots in the park next door, but they are pretty fast and so far have eluded capture. Rather misleading title as there is not a cockie to be seen anywhere

Thanks John. and Phil. They're all cockies to me - parrot - schmarrot - whatever! If they fly and squawk and have that rounded beak then they're cockies
#2 was done deliberately to show his pretty tail feathers - I don't get to see them like that.
Phil, I love this lens, I don't think it's that common to be sharp at the longest end.
