Nature Galah in Flight

Galah in Flight · 07:15 AM

I was keeping low approaching a flock of grazeing Galahs, getting closer.... closer.... then a rather large dog came bounding over the hill, caught this in the aftermath

happy enough with this manual focus shot as the AF on this old sigma has started to play up

just as the doggie made its entrance ( I think one of the birds may be partly in focus

)

a rather cute looking juevenile

Nope, were out of here !

cheers & thanks for looking

Nice! BIFs are difficult to do... at least for me.

#1 is fantastic, especially for MF. I wish I could do as well.

And I can just imagine the great screeching noise when the dog chased them.

thanks gjtoth, I also find it difficult, plenty of blurred shots and even some where the bird is not in the frame

cheers

yes indeed, I often see Galah, Rainbow Lorikeet, Musk Lorikeet, Red Rumped Parakeet in my area, as well as other varieties from time to time

cheers
