Superb shots of this beautiful amazing bird Pam. The way you are isolating the bird with a lovely green background is excellent. Do you have a bird feeder set up or are these just in your yard?

Also which lens are you using, I may have missed this in previous posts?

Cheers

you are using the 70-300mm. I have that lens but never could get the hang of it.

Very well done.
 
How do you hide from this fellow to get these shots?

I finally got a shot of one these these not long ago - could never get close enough, even with the 300mm and TC.

Nice shot of a beautiful bird.
 
I've been a fan of this thread for a while now and thought I'd finally contribute.

Shot with EM-1 and Zuiko 300/2.8

Well if that's your first contribution its a great start. Very nice image of the honeyeater, good pose, perch and composition. Looks like you used flash.

Not sure what is going on in the back of its head though? Looks a bit strange.

Cheers

Thanks, yes he has been a good model for me.

No hide used, I just sit and wait for him to return to the its favourite perches.

They are a very timid bird, but he allows me to get reasonably close. If I step too close he is off.

Cheers

Dennis
 
Never tire of seeing them, beautifully taken as usual.

Shot was taken in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney

Thanks. I know the area well and will be shooting birds and landscape there tomorrow.

Your DPR Location says "Lives in USA" so I was wondering where/how/when you took the shot.
I see quite a few images of Aussie birds taken in US zoos, but I could see the native au tree in the background of your honeyeater :-)
