So can the experts please give me some info? The first photo is of a Willie Wagtail and the second is of an Eastern Yellow Robin.

nardes Goldmember More info | Dec 01, 2017 22:01 | #822 This time I took the 70-200mm F2.8L for a wider shot to see if I could get an entry and exit sequence. I don't stay for long just to minimise any potential stress on the birds, even though the nest is on a walking track. I managed the entry sequence where the bird flew across the camera, but the in the exit sequence the bird flew down the throat of the lens and I was on manual focus on the nest entrance, so no in-focus sequence there.

Pippan Cream of the Crop More info Post edited over 5 years ago by Pippan. (2 edits in all) | Dec 03, 2017 05:08 | #825 This is a male great bower bird showing off his purple patch. This patch becomes prominent during the breeding season and a good one is important to his chances of attracting a female.  Image hosted by forum (888653) © Pippan [SHARE LINK] More important to his chances though, is a good bower. This avenue of woven sticks is decorated all around and inside with white and silver/grey objects: snail shells, rocks, sea shells, alfoil, ring-pulls, champagne cork cages, tablet blister packs etc. (this one is next to a campground) and highlighted in the corners with green leaves and broken green bottle glass. He spends much time fussing over his bower and its decorations to make the whole show just right. When a female is lured into the bower he starts a frantic courtship display that includes showing off his purple patch and his many trinkets while dancing and rushing about. If she's impressed they'll mate in the bower and she'll go off and build a nest in a tree, while he turns his attention to the next pretty girl. If she's not impressed and he's lucky, she'll just leave; if he's not lucky she'll trash the bower and its decorations, and he'll have to start over from scratch. The things boys do to attract girls ...THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.  Image hosted by forum (888654) © Pippan [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.
