Show your Bird Portraits

Nice pictures, Andy. I especially like the second one.

Thanks, Click. This bird was strange, he approached me and looked sharpely at me, obviously wondering, what this guy was doing.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for the kind comments.

I took this picture around 7 o'clock, the lighting was almost perfect.

Hi Wiebe,

Thank you for your kind words.

I have been kayaking for more than 20 years. I have never capsized by accident. Its a great pleasure for me to joint my two passions together, photography and kayaking. Enjoying listening to the nature, looking at the scenery, watching birds and animals...When I choose to bring my gear with me on the water, I select a calm river or calm lake so it's not a big risk to bring those gear.

Nicely said.
I have pretty much the same experience, love photography and kayaking. Both are great by themselves but combined - they are sublime. I live on a coast so most of my time is spent in salt water. I have occasionally gotten splashes as the weather changed while far from home. So far no problems with safety or equipment..

The combination of light and angle and overall composition make it stand out.

After a day in Sigapore I moved on to Malaysia, and there was break in the rain. It gave me the the chance to capture some bulbuls. First, redwhiskered.
