Nice use of a small depth of field

Thanks folks for your comments, really appreciate them. These guys are one of my favorite little shorebirds.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

A few profile shots. The first is the red-billed hornbill also known as the flying chili pepper and the other is of a male saddle-billed stork. With the stork it's easy to tell male from female because the female has a yellow eye.
