More from Spicers Gap

Just a few more from the most productive outing for birds I have ever had.

1. Eastern Whipbird wet after bath


2. Eastern Whipbird shaking off water. One of those lucky shots. I was using slow shutter speeds because of the dark conditions and this exposure caught it vigorously drying itself


3. Large-billed Scrubwren. My best guess on id. Corrections welcome.


4. Black-faced Monarch


5. Spectacled Monarch

Again, fabulous series Alan. All framed beautifully. Love the drying off after a bath.

Thanks Isac. If only I could shots like these every time I take my camera out.

We all have good days and bad days Alan so it's great to get a few keepers.

Thanks Phil. I got a bit lazy with the lens and exposure data. All with the D800 and Nikon 500PF wide open at f/5.6, shutter speed 1/250 or 1/320 and ISO ranging from 250 to 2000. It was quite shady with some hazy overcast varying the light. All need some noise reduction but i was a bit surprised noise wasn't more of a problem.
