Some birds from Myall Park Botanical Gardens

[wigz]

Myall Park Botanical Gardens has thousands of native plants growing in a natural bush setting, so it is quite unlike your typical botanical garden. It also has a well set-up bird hide with a pool in front and a few well-placed perches..

All with Nikon Z8, Nikon 500mm PF f/5.6 and 1.4x teleconverter.

Most are in shade so ISO is quite high. I kept the shutter speed up (probably longer than I should have) as the birds were constantly moving.

1. Female Rufous Whistler. 1/1600 f/8 ISO 4500


2. Male Rufous Whistler. 1/1600 f/8 ISO 900. Unfortunately the angle makes its legs look really short.


3. Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater. 1/1600 f/8 ISO 5000



4 Restess Flycatcher. 1/1600 f/8 ISO 1600



5. White-eared Honeyeater. 1/250 f/8 ISO 2800

Always a welcome sight but I don't think they will make the "Best of Alan"

I’m just happy to get some different birds, even in poor light.

And many people would love to get them in their collection. Have you counted the different birds you have? Wouldn't be possible to get your best shot each time

I don't have a count Hans and it take a bit of time to do. Of course if I was a serious birder I would log each species as I got them. If i get a chance I'll see what I can work out.
