These guys were like having lazer detector. Any human form gets near, they'll take off. Good thing is, their built-in detector only detects human shape. If i sit in my car, and drive closer, i can get within 2m. Fee

Around 5 meters I think. liv2trip wrote in post #2051033 very nice Sindri you have to enjoy being able to get close to birds, and these are tough to get close to , well done They stand completely still when they try to hide so they are often very hard to spot and as soon as you glance their way they fly off with a loud shriek. You usually only have few seconds to get the shot. cfcRebel wrote in post #2051418 Nice job capturing a skittish bird Sindri. These guys were like having lazer detector.

I like the over-the-shoulder pose. My eye keeps going to the white floating thing in the upper left corner...easy to clone out. Daniel Cadieux
