I was sitting out on the deck thismorning having my toast and coffee in what little sun we have left before winter, when I was joined by these little guys who were doing he same thing I guess:D

Seeing as almost every bird shot I have ever attempted has been a disaster, I was pretty happy with these.

    Thanks Saurora. I'm not a wildlife photographer in any sense of the word. Most of the time the only wildlife I have to shoot is my toddler:D.

    They are very nice little birds, native to Australia. Don't make alot of noise, and about the same size as a sparrow.

    Very nice series, well done. I guess we can expect more great birdshots from you now.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
