A Sunday Walk...

Went for a walk down by a creek I like to visit with the intention of taking some nice B&W film shots. But the sun was too bright. I could hear baby birds but couldn't see them. I managed to get this not very great shot of a Fairy Wren..Which I only post because I know how shy they are. I couldn't get close enough to get a good one..

I was then chased away by a very angry Magpie who was nest guarding. But then later on he was not bothered by me as he went food hunting.

I know its not very sharp and I guess the jpeg compression made it worse. I just liked the angle.

And...If BB is a Bird Butt...What's a bird underbelly? I waited and waited for him to come down but he wouldn't. I could her his chicks close by.

    Hey Rahm,

    everybody has it once in a while :D But that first shot may be something! Add a load of saturation and brighten up the bird a tad, I think the picture will improve tremendously!

    Thanks for sharing!
