Very nice shots scyrene. I especially like the second picture.

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)

Damn! That's good, Scyrene!
Intimate shots with enough DoF to show off the bird and immediate surroundings. I've never encountered any Shorelarks (I live too far south to spot it here), but it is a great looking lark.

Really beautiful bird. I love his coloring and patterns. Almost like he has a leaf pattern drawn on his head.

You're very kind, thanks

Thanks very much. They are lovely - they're known in your parts as 'horned larks' incidentally.

Very pleased to get a shot of this shy bird that is far from common where I live...

First-time poster so I hope this is okay. When I saw the thread title of "bird portraits" this one jumped to mind that I took of a goshawk a few weeks ago.
