I like the photo of the oystercatcher taken from the water. A unique perspective and different than usual.

More NZ birds please!

More NZ birds please!

I will for sure , is there a thread for birds in a wider setting ? I mostly avoid cropping tight for portraits.

Nice shot, Chig.

Nice shot, Chig.

Thanks , I like shooting in the rain as the colours seem to pop and it's nice to get water drops on the plumage

Not too many pictures this summer, but have had a couple of very rare birds in Wisconsin. First up is a White-tailed Kite, that showed up at Crex Meadows SWA in late June. It was our 6th state record. I had only ever seen one briefly, in Florida several years ago. 7D mkll / EF600 F4 ll / 1.4x lll

Second was a Snowy Plover, that showed up on a local beach 2 days ago! This was our 7th state record!
