Wow these guys are often perched up high in the canopies. Great capture!

There were actually four of them playing in the bushes, i guess they were a family with big chicks!

I only had 200 mm max zoom so couldn't get them closer although I cropped the picture! ; )

Nonetheless a very crisp shot!

 

I have a version 1 500/f4 IS sitting in my dry cabinet longing to be taken out but at my age I find it increasingly strenuous to lug this bazooka around. Instead I now prefer the light weight 400/5.6 for doing trails and a 300/2.8 for hide work.

 

If anyone is interested please PM me for the 500/4.

A Willy Wagtail, only had a 18/55 lens on. No time to change and put the 75/330 on. Real pity, there were two and only 5 metres away.

Couldn't crop it down further, bad enough as it is.

Same with me!  I have the 500 and it sits most of the time now. I am using a 400mm lens also.  

Damn gravity.... haha

Oriental Magpie-robin. One of the most common garden birds in Thailand so you should get another chance at better pics.

Maybe with some bird seed on the chicken's head ...

Uh.. It's difficult to take pictures of the birds. I have an hawk close to my home. I can hear it's screams every day and every now and then see it fly between the trees. But to take an photo.. I'll try another 2 weeks :)

Can anyone help me identify this one.Difficult to get a photo, it never stays still

Yeah it's a warbler and unlike The States where they were my passion...here they are frustratingly similar, especially when fresh or worn plumage can play a major factor. Range and season also come into play. Sometimes IMO unless an expert with bird-in-hand, impossible to ID with certainty.

 

Check out Dusky, Buff-throated, Yellow-streaked and Raddes for starters. Chok dee!

Not sure, what these are, seem to small for seagulls... Terns perhaps?

Not easy shots being in a Kayak!

Yes...Oriental Magpie-robin. Similar in appearance to Oz's Willy Waggy, but 2 distinct and separate species. The scientific name of the Willy is Rhipidura leucophrys, while the Magpie-robin is Copsychus saularis. Despite the similar appearance, they are not closely related, if at all.
