Starling

Seamus

I haven't taken any bird pics in a long time so I'm posting these to keep my membership up to date



and from behind



without boring you



these birds are small so I had to really crop the pictures. They were within 10 yards of me, I would really like a 400mm lens:wxwax

Wow, colourful birds. I think ours over here are all black (in fact I think they were used as the RGB(0,0,0) baseline by the camera manufacturers )

Shay your shots are just too sharp every thing you shoot looks like a studio portrait I thought that a starling was a young crackle my pics did not come out well but i did learn somehing this weekend

Thanks Brett, the sun was shining directly on him for the first two, presumably it brought out the colours , photography is still a mystery to me .
