Various Birds . . .

. . . in the neighbourhood.

#1 - Sacred Kingfisher. They are so small.

#2 - Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike gathering twigs. I'm glad they are staying around to have their bubs.

#3 - Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon) scanning the surrounds. It has that "I'm the king of the castle" look. This is the first one I've ever seen (tat I can recall).

Nice. The last one looks like a Rock Dove.. Almost made of stone by its colouring...

[Isac]

Cheers Mark. Perhaps why it has that name

Some variety there Isac. The Kingfisher looks a bit bedraggled and it’s a pity that the sun wasn’t in the right place to bring out its colours, but still a good perch, pose and background.

nice to catch the cuckoo-shrike with the twig showing behaviour.

An unusual colour in the pigeon and quite a handsome bird.

Great shots. I really like the Kingfisher.

Thanks guys. To get better light on the kingfisher, I would have been in the lake, so best I could do.
