My old Nikon D2H is still in good working order.

Bringing this Mockingbird into focus took some doing, but I like the way it came out. I wrestled with leaving the silhouette as is, until I saw what it looked like with some detail and a texture. I liked the mood.

Red-cheeked cordon-bleu or red-cheeked cordonbleu (Uraeginthus bengalus) male on right and female on left. It is a common bird in the grasslands of central and eastern Africa. This couple lives in the Africa Rocks Aviary, San Diego Zoo.

Conservation status: Least concern.

This sunflower grew 9 feet tall and is now providing a lovely assortment of seeds for the Goldfinches. Thanks, Kipp:)

I will need to take a bit of time to catch up - looking forward to it ;D

Can you find the bug??

At least they are not caged :)

Be critical, but kind.

I'm getting beach photography withdrawal symptoms. Haven't been able to get to a beach since before Christmas. Had planned a bushwalk with a mate to Waterfall Beach, my "missing" Central Coast beach today but the weather dictated otherwise. We went from weeks of 30C+ to tops of 20C with incessant rain last 3 days.

This beach here is Birdie Beach, and the little island in the distance is Bird Island. The Bird Island Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve located 1.4 kilometres off the coast. The island is no more than 260m long and rocky cliffs make access difficult by boat. Over twenty types of birds have been recorded on the island.

We didn't let the weather dampen our spirits, had a great workout and a couple of beers at the local brewery instead while planning future outings.

I hope everyone is having a great week !

Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!

This beauty looked extraordinarily gorgeous in this green. I got a really good shot as the birdie just sat there eating.

This little guy was not shy at all, so I could approach him really close.

Smile On Saturday: "Portray A First Name Without Using Letters" theme

The name that I am portraying is Birdie. "It was among the 1,000 most popular names for American girls between 1880 and 1940. It then declined in popularity but has since increased in usage and has ranked among the 1,000 most used names for newborn American girls since 2021," according to Wikipedia.
