Popular Post Robby nz Posted January 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2015 Not sure of this rare species - any suggestions? bird.JPG Quite rare that one matey...usually they're all over our car park & grass after the grass cutters leave. I thought we were the only ones to have em! I like the Tree Sparrow - a bit neater looking than the House Sparrow. Another one we get around here is the plain backed sparrow. Male and 3 Females. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Goshawk Posted January 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2015 At the monument to the rarest bird in Thailand thoroughly extinct White-eyed River Martin, at Bung Boraphet . . . this is a dodgy scan of an 11 year old print. i have absolutely no idea who that ugly farang is, posing with his (now long gone) Swaro' below those 2 quirky birds & totally spoiling the picture . . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were the only ones to have em! I like the Tree Sparrow - a bit neater looking than the House Sparrow. And just think MH...the Sparrows originated in the UK once upon a time. I guess you could say they're the UK's largest, in terms of sheer numbers, export! About the only place I have never seen one was on the Antarctic continent when there around the turn of the century. Then again I wasn't looking for sparrows either...just didn't notce any...too cold? Hah! They are not found in West Australia either. Those that are found (illegal immigrants)are shot - as are Starlings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack2964 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Great shot - and the info is very helpful for me as I use the same lens. I like the 400/5.6 it goes everywhere I go and am sure glad I didn't sell it awhile back when I acquired the 500/f4. The big one now sits in the dry cabinet most of the time and I am tempted to flog it. Anyway, just prior to this shot I was after a Pied fantail in the shade and had dialed up the ISO a bit when this tailorbird showed up. There wasn't time to allow any adjustments as it often happens with these subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely shot but somewhat spoilt with the dust mark. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Tbh, I didn't notice it at all. Is it the 'smudge' below its tail? Could it not be a dirty lens?

Yes, sensor problem. You wouldn't see that from lens dirt (shows as white). Also some smudging in the lower left corner. Easy to clone out but one day it's going to occur in a critical area of the image and screw it all up. Best to sort it now Edited January 17, 2015 by fimgirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
