Very nice series Mr. Surapon. On the third picture, the bird looks like an airliner on final approach.

Well done Sir.

Hi, Menace. This appears to be a herring gull.

1. Male Wilson's Phalarope (I think)
2. Female Wilson's Phalarope (I know)

The female was spinning about on the water to stir up insects and insect larvae.

Menace,
Always enjoy your pics, but have to agree with dpc..your pic is of a gull, not a gannet. Look at the bill shape and coloration...not a blue-grey bill as seen on a gannet. Also the head shape and eye is that of a gull. Hope this helps.

Blue Wren, West Australia.
7D, 70-200 F2.8 II +2.0X, iso 1000, F9, 1/250

Remarkable bird, the non-breeding plumage is lovely captured

I just love these birds, they have so much fun and they live in "families", mostly they group at seven to eight birds
1DX, 70-200 F2.8 II, 1.4X, iso 100, F8, 1/250 plus EX-600 flash with Better Beamer

I especially like the second one in the series. You really have captured the frolicking ;D

I grew up in the Netherlands and moved to West Australia some ten years ago. The wildlife, especially the birds are amazing. Furthermore, the night sky, the Milky Way is just incredible.

I am still saving for a 400 F2.8 or 600 F4.0, just can't make up my mind as a do a lot of sports photography

1. Canada goose goslings out for a swim.
2. Goslings being shepherded by an adult. The geese breed around a sewage lagoon, thus the large black pipe in the background which is part of the sewage treatment system. Unfortunately, I was unable to get into a position that would eliminate the pipe from the picture. I wouldn't think this would be the most salubrious environment to live in, but the birds seem to love it.
