A lunchtime stroll.........

The picture of the Hair-crested drongo was the best of a very poor bunch. I was immensely frustrated by the birds refusal to come down lower. Wherever I positioned myself they were always silhouetted against a grey sky. I had the aperture set at +2 and this was the best I could manage.

The water lilies are in flower and who can resist them?

Away we go

My first bird is one I have tried to photograph for some time. It is common in HK but moves quickly through tree canopies and rarely stops long enough to get a decent shot. This one was feeding and stopped momentarily, just long enough for me to rattle off 3 or 4 frames. Not brilliant but at least shows the bird in some context.
