Show your Bird Portraits

[2n10]

Thank you Domino Dude and Click.

Both Kinglets are tiny, quick, timid and elusive. The golden more so than the ruby.

Tossing in another Gull before bed time. (For me, not for the Gull)

There are several varieties of seagulls in New Zealand. I shot a couple there.
The first is the black billed variety.
The second picture is that of the red billed kind. These are vile birds. I was shooting them very close, and perhaps I got too close to the colony for photos. As a consequence, I got carpet bombed! Nasty, nasty stuff. Nuff said.
A third photo is that of a duck.

Speaking of gulls ....
Gullosaurus Rex

Great Black-backed Gull, the largest gull in the world.

First one is a pelican who wasn't impressed I was taking his photo (650D/ 50mm 1.8).
Second one is a Rainbow Lorikeet (650D/ 70-300L)
Third and four are ducks (don't ask me what sort!) (650D/ 70-300L)

A couple of shots of a very special bird for these parts, a shorelark. Poor light, but a very friendly bird (both 700mm, f/5.6, 1/500, ISO 3200)
