Snuck out this morning for a short photo excursion... only birds for this one.
Maybe adding some more later.

I like number one with the look on the face. He looks like he is giving you the stink eye. I would prefer the entire bird though.

thanks, I'd say you're probably right about the entire bird. This particular one was cropped because it seemed to be more interesting- may post others though, thanks for looking.

Good looking set Joss. I quite like the last image and the first. For #1, I would consider removing a little off the top.

Nice variety set here.
The hawk is a neat shot, sharpness seems just a bit soft perhaps but the pose and BG make a neat impact.
#2 sharp and a wonderful exposure
#3 might be just a bit dark but looks like you have the color and details there to work with and sharpness
#4 Just beautiful! Excellent!

These are just beautiful, it is wonderful hat you can encounter birds like these on a Saturday excursion! As others have said, one and two are special, but I also like the lighting in number 4, the shades under the wings are very beautiful. Thank you for sharing these, Paul

Thanks, and yes I think you are right about #1, that would improve it.

Thanks, glad you liked it.
These guys are cool, one of the few birds which don't look so fierce in close up, spoonbills are another.

Karl - thanks for the comments, very much appreciated.
For #2; I liked that picture because there was more detail, but normally the darker colored birds seem to be harder for the AF to resolve.. or maybe's it's just me .

Thanks for the kind words, I must say I do feel we are lucky that way.
I went out this morning and saw lots of birds, slightly cold for down here, 50 F with clear blue skies.
I will add post some more later.
thnx,
Joss
