With the setup of a feeder between the grevillea bushes now we have every day Pale Headed rosellas in our garden :)
The one with the red head is a juvenile which will be loose the reds when mature.
The other is an adult.
Nikon D300s and Nikon 70-300VR @ 300mm
The day was very windy and overcast so to take the shots @ 1/1000 I used ISO 640 for this shots.

Great shots, love the second one, bokeh on the background really makes it stand out. Need to set up feeder in my new digs when we move in!
Had an old friend drop by today.

Flew right in sat on a chair and started chirping to me.
Deano:)
I paid a visit to the Bundaberg Botanic gardens to see if there were any new birds near the lake.
Oh well, there are 1000 plus Cattle Egrets nesting on the trees!! I guess that 50 or more nest per tree and in some cases more.
It is difficult to get a clear shot and the angle for the 300 mm lens is a bit high but I give it a go.
450mm + will be ideal lens.

I am still suprised on how good that lens is, even with a large crop! Love these birds (nd Herons), their plumage is beautiful.

Its an old one as well.
Been back a two weeks from Norfolk Island. Unfortunately we had a heavy sea mist while we were there so photography is not at its best.

FAIRY TERNS / WHITE TERNS Mating - Yes, they mate in the air!! No nest ,they select a branch and just sit there.
Been told they have a pouch and the single egg sits in it.
Have a couple more somewhere of mum on her "nest" and and a young chick on a branch.;)
Will post them when located
