Thanks FozzFoster: I think most of the credit for the framing goes to the bird's choice of perch!
Originally posted by reh321 usually I find nothing, or next to nothing {such as a robin or a black-bird}, when I go chasing after a noise.
I know that feeling. Walked through many bush areas with bellbird sounds all around me - but spot one?? Huh.
Originally posted by brewmaster15 Thats a cool looking bird. I would love a crack at photographing them.. .. sigh... someday! Tfs.
I have on other shot, of an adult, at a different location - but I had forgotten to turn Shake Reduction back on after taking the camera off the tripod - result: motion blur! Grrrr!
Originally posted by ToddK Very good eye to spot that fella and be able to get him in such a nice photo.
Thanks ToddK - it really did take ten at least ten minutes of walking from one side to the other of that (quite densely foliaged) tree before I finally got that little "peep-hole" view of him,
