These were manual focus shots of our native wood-pigeon or kereru. There were far too many intervening leaves and branches to attempt an AF shot. I was using the trusty α100 with the 300/4 G and external fill flash (set at rear-sync IIRC).
The kereru technically a threatened species, but still common in several parts of the country. Fwiw, it is also the largest extant pigeon species left in the world. Most of the time, I've ended up with shots of the backside of this bird- a perspective that comes naturally when you are on the ground and it is up there in the trees. Here I had the advantage of a viewing platform, so got a more flattering perspective :) I'm trying to decide which of the three shots I like the most- your thoughts appreciated. #1 
#2 
#3  ------------- α7riii, α9, FX30- Voigtländer 15/4.5, 110/2.5; Zeiss Loxia- 21/2.8, 35/2, 50/2 & 85/2.4, Zeiss Batis- 85/1.8 & 135/2.8; Sony 18-105/4, 24-105/4; Sigma 70/2.8; Tamron 150-500 f5-6.7; Sony 135/2.8 STF |

For me the first is preferable, think the branch the bird is perching on in the others is too distracting. ------------- http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/therealhobgoblin/ - See my Galleries here - comments welcome |

Thanks- yes, it wasn't very co-operative at posing (kept hopping around on the branches) and I only had 2 narrow lines-of-sight into the tree. I think I like the colours more on #2 and #3, but the intervening branch is a problem. ------------- α7riii, α9, FX30- Voigtländer 15/4.5, 110/2.5; Zeiss Loxia- 21/2.8, 35/2, 50/2 & 85/2.4, Zeiss Batis- 85/1.8 & 135/2.8; Sony 18-105/4, 24-105/4; Sigma 70/2.8; Tamron 150-500 f5-6.7; Sony 135/2.8 STF |

One of the ladies I work with has a pet rainbow lorikeet. I popped in yesterday after work and took a few snaps. It was very tame - had been hand-reared. He is easily handled, and is delightful character. Please not that he's not chained to the post. The chain is attached to the lid on the citronella burner:

For my lunch break I cycled along to the RSPB bird hide on the Menai Strait. The side facing the Strait looks across to Beaumaris, on the Isle of Anglesey:
But there were no birds apart from seagulls, and you've come here for bird shots, so we have to open the window at the opposite side, which looks out onto woodland, reeds and a lagoon. Heron and egrets can often be seen here, but not on this occasion. But we do have...

Thanks Dirk. My 300 mm wasn't really long enough as all the birds on this trip were very shy and kept flying away. So then the only way was to place them smaller in a good surrounding. I'm pretty happy how this one turned out. Your bald eagle has a lot of character. Nice shot as well. ------------- You can see the April Foolishness 2022 exhibition https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/topic141325_post1694580.html#1694580 - here Another great show of the talent we have on Dyxum |

I think it is, especially the light feathers are less "dull".

Not near the level of technical and compositional excellence of most pictures in the thread, but I'm so happy of this...
The first bird I saw in anything like shooting distance with a700. 
In finnish this is merikotka (sea eagle), I believe the name in english is white tailed eagle(?) Cropped to about half of original. Sadly the sky had just got an uniform cloud cover on it. |

Wow Matt, superb shot, I'm tryinng to make such one with "tourterelle turque" I have in the garden, but they are very distant with me, more than robins, they come at one meter from the 200 when I'm sitting on earth, but not so when standing, it's very important to be at a low level than the birds, it's the same with insects, they don't see you as a predator.

Nice shots, everyone!
So I want to join, here are some herons, shot yesterday (A700+400/4.5), on a colony still fairly urban in Vienna, Austria: 1. 
2. 
Sidenote to that image: in the middleages, when gluttony was "invented", people often used heron feathers to invoke throwing up (after too much food) - hence the German word for "heron = Reiher" became also a synonym for "throwing up" (reihern) - smartass mode off 3.

Thanks! The cormorant!
I was observing the heron when the cormorant "attack" happenend, and at first I thought I had missed the action. Apparently their pointy beaks can hurt...because the heron took off right away and was gone.. Bernd |

Red-tail hawk, looking for an afternoon snack.
Beercan @ 210mm, 1/125@f5, heavy crop. (Scotty, I need more power!!) The background is really busy and unattractive, even with PP doctoring, but the bird was too pretty not to share.  ------------- Lazarus Long said "If it can't be expressed in figures, it's not science.

Those egret shots are great, all of them.
The one where the head is dipped in the water is my favourite. Well done! Which lens was used? regards, Bernd |
