A few more birds from my local scene

[Ozzie_Traveller]

G'day all

My pre-brekky morning walk today was a short one as it was threatening to rain - overcast and not very exciting unless you were a water bird!
However, I managed to grab several pelicans as they headed for a free feed at the local boat ramp or glided past having given up on a freebie

1) this bloke had had enough - 2 shots of his / its departure


2) #2 of 2


3) another hopeful coming in to land / splashdown


typical exif .... Panny FZ-2500; 1/2000s x F4,5 [max aperture]; lens at 20x zoom / 480mm FFequiv; ISO-400

As always, feedback welcome

Excellent work Phil. Good shutter speed to freeze the action. NIce and sharp with your Panny. Top 2 just a bit brighter and a shadows lift?

No 2 for me. With a little pp as per Isac. It gives a better idea of the size of the bird as well as showing a bit of movement.

3 great shots Phil but #2 for me.

I love pelicans Phil, who doesn't such majestic birds. #1 & #2, but three's not bad either.
