Dusky Moorhen

I went to the park for lunch today with my wife and this little fellow was wondering around in the lake, so I just had to grab the camera and snap some off hahaha
Shot in manual mode, Tv 1/250, Av 5.6 ISO 100 500mm focal length and white balance set to cloudy.

Moorhens are such lovely birds, aren't they? Very skittish though, so you did well here. A nice shot. I do wonder how you managed to sneak in an image here that large though!

very nice

A very nice shot of this pretty bird. Nice detail and colors.

Great Shot.

All the best.

Very nicely captured!

Sorry I’ve been a bit slow to reply, but I have had the week from hell this week at work. I just can't wait for it to finish!

Thanks Levina. I am not sure how it snuck in to be honest. I have a 24” screen so everything looks too small to me haha
