Re: Birds of the bush
Beautiful series. The Mangrove Kingfisher is my favourite with that colour contrast.

Re: Birds of the bush
That kingfisher has an attitude problem or was that an "altitude problem" because he is situated higher???
The fantail is angry at the photographer I think...
I like the last one better..
Can you please number your images so I do not have to scroll backwards and forwards? I am far too old in this scrolling game that is why I gave up playing Pacman...

Nice shots, Richard. I have not been active on CIC for a few days, nice to see some good bird shots.

Thanks for the suggestion. Originally Posted by Wavelength

The other option I thought of was to paste a focused leaf over the OOF one.

The kingfisher is very territorial and did have a bit to say when when a Pardalote took the top branch on 'his' tree.

Re: Birds of the bush
That pardalote shot was difficult - it was back-lit but against an overcast sky butI managed to drag a little colour out of it. They are beautiful little birds. Originally Posted by IzzieK

Re: Birds of the bush
Trim has really worked well; and that last two images win everyone's heart, i suppose
