Hampden Park Bird Life

nevets2001uk · 23rd of June 2006 (Fri)

I'm normally found in the motorsports forum but for a change I went to a local park with the 20D in hand to photograph some of the birds. I had to cut the trip short and will be returning but here's three shots that I was quite pleased with. These are all shot using the Sigma 100-300 F4.

An ID for No. 3 would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Steve

Hi;
#3 is a juvenile Moorhen... (I think...)
All 3 are great captures. The Mallard is superb!

Good shots. Love the second one of the Mallard Duck.

Thanks for commenting Lee and Sindri.

Thanks for the ID Lee. It's been suggested elsewhere that it's a Juvenile Moorhen so I think we'll go with that as the ID.

Cheers,
Steve

That's a good photo of the Jackdaw Steve, they have nice light blue eyes.
Good detail in this shot.
Nice shot of mallard, upside down that is.
And a nicely framed young Moorhen. Well done and come back with some more Bird photos when you can.

Thanks for the comments. I will certainly be back. I've found yet another area of photography that I enjoy!

Cheers,
Steve

1st image is excellent, composition, focus, etc. All top notch. Very nice image.

Cheers,
