Some larger birds

[wigz]

You know the birds are scarce when I'm taking photos of Crested Pigeons, Dusky Moorhens and egrets.

1. Dusky Moorhen. I thought the pose, environment and lighting on this one justified another photo of a very common bird.


2. Crested Pigeon


3, Same again



4. Plumed Egret. As if I needed another photo of an egret in flight.

Excellent shots Alan. That Moorhen one is a wonderful environmental portrait.

Thanks David

Common birds we take for granted Alan but still great to capture them. All good photos mate. #1, lovely image which follows all the "technical rules".

I love the moorhens and swamphens, they come up with some great poses and their colours change in varying light.

Bit late to the party I know, but agree the moorhen beautifully captured within its natural environment has everything going for it, colours detail rule of thirds, but I really like the over the shoulder look of the crested pidgeon in no. 2.

Never too late AlfandBen. Thanks for the feedback.
