Bird bombs away! (Warning - toilet activity pics)

Here's sharing a couple of Little Egrets captured while they're relieving themselves....

1. 20D + 400 5.6L, 1/1600 sec, f/8, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held

Gross but made me laugh.
Nice capture. I think.

Hope your 400 had it's hood up.

Bit of a laugh to see such fine equipment used for such "action" shots. Big print for the wall? Nuh.

Romy, whereabouts in Las Pinas is the South Lagoon? I've probably been away too long... Is this a new place in Las Pinas? Never heard of it before...

Looks like the guy lost half of his intestines in the first shot.

thank god cows can't fly

Hi John,

South Lagoon is the seafront of the Coastal Road leading to Cavite province. It's really a mud/tidal flat, and when the tide is out, all sorts of water birds feed in the place.

This area, a major haven of waterbirds in Metro Manila, is due for reclamation soon. The birds will just have to find a new home elsewhere, for the sake of "development".....

Methinks the elephants could do damage also...

That first one as a wall hanger would certainly be a conversation piece . . .

LMAO, and I thought I was the only one to catch these kind of action shots hehehe. Well done Romy.

Wow, good captures. I had no idea that's how it looked when motion was frozen. Amazing what you can learn on this forum.

Ha ha ha , these are awesome Romy,well done mate.

These birds are very capable of "multitasking". Doing two very important tasks at once......flying and ..........you know what.

Now i'm no longer a big fan of Dumbo.
Nice shots Romy!
