ISv, can I just say "common" is relative to where we stay, in addition to that images of perfectly exposed birds tend to show them
off at there very best.
We have been fortunate to have had some sunny days here on the East coast of Scotland recently and I managed some outings in a local park.
HB, I know it's relative. But when you go out in hunt for a new species (in this case just new for my collection) and get home with photos of just Cattle Egret there is always some disappointment... I think I'm as much birder as a photographer: when taking bad or average photo of interesting bird you feel nearly physical pain but on other hand taking a
good picture of common (well, for your part of the world
) bird is rather satisfying - until you start thinking "why it was not that "f.. Red-billed Tropic bird"
!
Any way - thanks for the "perfectly exposed" (actually with some help with the post processing
) compliment as well as for the posted very nice pictures (it's time for me to go back to Europe for a week or two...)!
Two more pics of that Cattle Egret (and as Jack was saying not that much pages above: There is nothing better than a good light!
