1. Female Superb Fairy-wren

2. Male Superb Fairy-wren


3. And again


4. Plumed Egret

5. Australasian Darter

They are all beautiful photos Alan. That gear is helping out with getting some wonderful bird shots. I love #1 looking straight at the camera with that "I'm watching you" gaze. Some birds with that pose look rather odd, like herons - but this one is fabulous!

Thanks Isac.

Excellent shots Alan. Really like the poses on those wrens.

[wigz]

Thanks David, the male was kind enough to stay on that perch and pose for me.

Well caught. I know these little boids have ants in their pants and can't sit still for more than moment..

[wigz]

Thanks Mark, they definitely weren’t sitting still

All beautiful shots. The female wren almost looks to be glaring at you as if to say get that camera out of my face The backlit wings on the Egret really set it off.

Thanks

Haha I think they were looking for you to have their portraits taken!

[wigz]

The male certainly hung around for quite a few shots, but he definitely wasn’t sitting still.

Do you use auto focus on the wrens?

[wigz]

Yes, always autofocus, no way I could manually focus accurately enough. Bird subject detection on these.
