Birding Boy Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 If only my shutter speed had been a tad higher! I did get a few better stationary shots, which I'll upload whenever the rate bombing craze is over 🙄 6 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three great shot of the same bird, all perched. I love the spread of the wings, the light coming through the clearly delineated feathers, the contrast with the dark sky. There's just one minor problem... Edited September 19, 2021 by Charlie Spencer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a certain mood...almost stormy. Maybe the bird is heading for cover. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few tenths of a second earlier and I would have had something great. Edited September 19, 2021 by Charlie Spencer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while it seemed that every other bird I came across in August was missing its tail so I guessed it was moulting. We will never know 🙂. PS. On that subject some birds seem to lose their old tail first and then replace it, whereas others seem to push out the old tail with the new one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
