Nice shots, seem a bit underexposed, but of course it can be very easy to accidentally overexpose whites.

Nice shots, although they look a bit cold (blue).


Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.

Thanks. I tried to expose for the white on the bird, which sort of threw everything out of kilter a bit.

Thanks Chris – I tried it but was having a bit of strife with exposure, it was blowing them right out so switched it off.

Thanks Phil. I had not seen one for a year until last weekend. I thought they had completely abandoned us because it is so wet out west, but a few species are starting to come back now.

Thanks Lil. I have a couple of months now where it should be pretty good. The local birdwatchers become very active at this time of the year.
