Very nice group of shots. For those of us a long way away, it would be great if you could identify the subjects.

Australian Raven struggling with a 'catch'. The bird lost the prize milliseconds after this shot.
K-3 II, DA* 300 handheld. See exif for shot details.

Mum. The scar on her side is an old injury apparently.

That Brahminy is a handsome raptor.

I don't use the Sigma 400mm f5.6 tele macro very often, but it is often fun when I do. These with the KP.

Roberta, one of our resident Grey Shrike-thrush (Colluricincla harmonica)

Galahs (Eolophus roseicapilla). Dark iris is the male; red iris female.

Crimson Rosella (Platycercus elegans), with its green-olive immature plumage. They morph to the crimson, blue and black adult plumage over a period of about 15 months.

**termy** · 09-14-2020, 06:39 AM - **8 Likes**

DFA 150-450.
heavy crop (this is a rather small sized bird).

Little Raven. Not an approved perch

K-3 II, DA*300 handheld. See exif for shot detail.
