Great photo but that bird looks like it was designed by Ms. Ella's kindergarten class.

The colours here are incredible!

Nothing as bright and colorful as Freak or Kengoh's birds, but tonight I caught a Junco and Northern Flicker (or Yellowhammer) taking shelter from the high winds in my backyard.
I rarely see woodpeckers on the ground around here...

**Note: I was grilling dinner at the time, so this reaffirms my belief that the camera should always be close at hand, with a 300mm lens (or greater) attached!

Another female flicker poking around for a place to lay her eggs. We have the red shafted ones out here.

That's it--I've got to go to Singapore! Great place for an A*300/2.8 ;~)

I don't get many good BIF shots with my manual setup.

derekkite · 04-17-2012, 07:03 PM

Who says we don't have colorful birds in Canada?

There is just an amazing variety of colourful birds in S.E.Asia isn't there. And Ian and Ken do a superb job shooting them !

But most of them are blue, from the cold
