The last of the photos are of various birds that got in the way when I tried to take shots of sticks and stumps… they are a portion of my portfolio of my favourite photographs..

What you see is what you get……. birds, animals, and all sorts of things, but remember; Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt. .

Gosh, these birds are beautiful. I’ve got to go to your neck of the woods someday. It’s just so beautiful where you are. 😀
Thank you it is outstandingly marvelous
They are so lovely and giving a nice pose to you 🙂 Thank you dear Rob, love, nia
Thanks Nia..
Wonderful, excellent shots!
Thank you..
Oooooh…Love them all, especially the black and white one..but the VERY best…the cute fuzzy, wuzzy one, tan with a Black “bib”…..ADORABLE…I want one!!!!!!
He was the most un co-operative one of them all… the Black-collard barbet…
Very cute birds. What is the one on left side, second to last? He sure is cute and very unusual.
That is the Crested Barbet… a very colourful bird that can become so brazen in the parks that he will almost come and eat out of your plate… I have a photo where we were braaiing (barbecue) and the bird came and sat almost on me and watched what I was up too.
The one with the red feathers around his face does not look happy with you. Great captures.
He was by no means co-operative… kept telling him how I wanted him to pose but he wouldn’t…
Now you are being silly right? These gorgeous creatures are not only ‘in the way’ but they are ‘posing’ as glamourous models for you BDS!!!
Fantastic shots — If this isn’t artistry – don’t know what is!! You even captured this cute little “head-tilt” thing (yellow black fella/gal) — and a ‘look’ in the eyes of the red/black beauty ~ just spectacular!! x R
Thanks Robyn you are too kind.. love it..
Fantastic shots of the sticks and stumps!!! It’s really too bad those beautiful birds had to get in the way and ham it up for the camera!
smiles… thank you the sticks were so attractive…
Wonderful bird shots again, bdt. How fortunate for us that they got in your way, 🙂 What is that one with the red face…. the embarrassed bird? 😉
black-collard barbet… he was the least co-operative of the lot… wouldn’t sit still or turn so I could get a good shot..
These are fabulous pictures. The only thing is – it’s going to be a bit embarrassing when I’m on holidays in two weeks time and staying at my brother’s. He’s got kookaburras that come down and sit on his railing in the morning. I want to get some shots, but I know already they’ll be nowhere as good as these!
I’m just hoping I get at least one where I’m not shaking the camera :
If they come to you… just ask them to sit still like I do these… its easy…Thanks for the great comment…
If that’s what you consider getting in the way….than you’re one lucky man. What beauty that got in your way! Love these images. Especially the yellow and black bird with beak open and the black bird towards the bottom. Lovely, as always.
Much light to you,
Sam
Thanks muchly… always enjoy your comments…
