They can be quite difficult to see at times because they favor rustling in the leaves. Time waits for no one!

No tripod, just handheld or up against a tree. Anyhow, I would like a positive I.D. on this bird. I suspect what it is but I'll let the experts here decide. I know the second photo is not very sharp but these things were flitting around quickly and would not cooperate. It's a yellow-rumped warbler. Time waits for no one!

I'm still working on the settings. You appear to have mastered it. Visit my Flickr

Lame-Duck I have indeed had pine nuts  More info | Oct 14, 2022 19:50 | #19043 nardes wrote in post #19435851 Thanks Mike, these are care of an RF 600mm F4L ISM USM that has now found its way into my collection. The 600mm with the RF x1.4 is ideal for these small. flighty birds.  Cheers Dennis That's a great combination, Dennis! Plenty of horsepower for those tiny birds, for sure. LD, or Mike

Lame-Duck I have indeed had pine nuts More info | Oct 14, 2022 19:58 | #19044 nardes wrote in post #19435855 A Crested Pigeon taken at Oxley Creek Common. This bird is found widely throughout mainland Australia except for the far northern tropical areas. Only two Australian pigeon species possess an erect crest, the Crested Pigeon and the Spinifex Pigeon. The Crested Pigeon is the larger of the two species. They make a whistling sound with their wings when they take off. Cheers Dennis Great shots of this handsome looking crested pigeon, Dennis! Excellent sharpness.

I especially love the tern in the clouds. You guys with your R7's are really tempting me to get out and buy one. LD, or Mike
