  • Kingfishers, Dollar Bird and Magpie-lark

    1. Sacred Kingfisher. A bit too far away really but detail looks ok.

    2. Sacred Kingfisher #2 in a different part of the park. A bit closer to this one but the light is a bit harsh.

    4. Dollar Bird. Also a bit too far away and I wasn't going to push through swampy long grass to try to get closer.

    5 Magpie Lark on nest. Mix of sun and shade on a black and white bird made for difficult light.

    Agree with Mark about the Kingfisher although I would be happy to have got any one of them. The pose in No.3 just makes it my pick.

    Looks like #3 is the winner here Alan. All very classy images with great detail for such long shots.

      Looks like it is unanimous for #3 Looks as if it was profesionally posed.

      Yep. It allowed me to get closer than usual and helpfully gave me some good poses.

    G'day Alan

    I'm okay with all of them - and the 'on the nest' image is more than 'ok' as well
