A Chaffinch, taken today in bright sunshine. The combination of the bright sun, DOF and pose has made the bird look super-imposed. Most odd.

Egyptian goose amongst the reeds in the pond by the Hare and Billet pub, Blackheath. I feel that there is something biblical about this image?

The American Tree Sparrow. Not sure why it is “American” since it is rarely seen south of Northern Canada in Summer. Perhaps my neighbors from the North can explain!!!
Nice signature/copyright. Very stylish. Also, check out those tiny little whiskers on top of the bird's head. ;)

I'm in love with this composition Gary! This is sensational mate! 🏆
Thanks Clint unfortunately the shot was from long range so its not as sharp as I would have liked, it maybe the only time I see one so I guess I should be happy! :)
 
This only makes sense as a sequence.

This was so much fun. It felt like I was choosing a portrait for a judge

A Black Head Gull, in winter plumage, so no black head until spring, taken from about 12ft away today. He was quite happy to pose.

Australian Brush-turkey - one of the three megapodes (mound builders) which live here. This is the northern subspecies with the lilac neck sac. (Southern are yellow). Male builds the mound, which can be metres high & female lays her eggs there. Male maintains mound temperature by adding & removing material from the mound throughout incubation. When the chick is born it receives zero parenting, it is 'self sufficient from the moment it leaves the egg.
