A few common birds from the park

[wigz]

I prefer birds on a perch to birds on the ground but the these two didn't cooperate.

1. Crested Pigeon


2. Magpie-lark. An odd common name as it has nothing to do with either Magpies or Larks


I've been seeing more domestic geese at this park over recent months and now they have been breeding, making them even more aggressive than before.

3. Goose family. Actually both families are here and not exactly on friendly terms.


4. Gosling

Pretty good for "on the ground" shots Alan. You can't beat a family session which includes the bubs. They do grow up pretty quick though, so at this size they are always special shots.

[wigz]

Thanks Isac. I’d actually be pleased if the geese weren’t there.

Alan I love the images. Does your camera have an articulating screen?

[wigz]

Thank you. No, just a fixed screen.

Nice job on these and to think that you were not happy where these were. I truly can't work out why as they all are good shot and I know I would be happy to have my name on them.

[wigz]

Thanks Ralph. There's nothing wrong with them, I just prefer most birds on perches - not sure why. These are technically well exposed and in focus, but common birds with nothing special about the light, surroundings or action.

I think I'm always looking for that special shot.

Excellent shots! Sometimes you take what you can get.

[wigz]

Thanks David. You certainly do.
