Great pictures, one cannot have enough bird pictures.

Nice shots. A treat to me. These birds seem so exotic as they are alien to my world.

I like the back-light shot - technically the worst of the lot but viscerally the best.
It's so often how we really see wildlife out in the bush.

Great shots one and all, Cee Cee. The first two are particularly striking - first class stuff, for sure.

thanks Venom3300, I was happy to get that one as the Whattle birds generally don't like you to get too close, cheers

Nice shot with the bugs, I have often seen them with insects but have never got a clear shot of one in the act.

**Cee Cee** · 09-14-2014, 06:26 PM

thanks Bruce, I've given up trying to catch one in flight when they're scooping up insects, they're just too quick, but they quite often keep returning to the same perch, I stay focused on the perch and wait for their return.
cheers

I always enjoy your bird photos CC, nothing like what we have in the Mojave Desert, so it is a real treat. thanks
