Show your Bird Portraits

On the strength of your observation I would have bought the R5 yesterday if I was still birding.
It's never late;). On the strength of my observation of your birds photos you should keep birding (starting yesterday!:D). Off course it's your choice but what a waste...

After the orgy of great photos/colors in the last pages of the forum I was hesitate to post mine from today. On other hand it's what it is - just the regular commons on the regular background... after the regular walk in the nearby park:(.

I would love to see a Waxbill and Scaly-breasted Munia!

I was thinking the same thing. @dolina your pictures are very good. So if you have some spare time I would suggest that you reconsider birding photography. At least you could try a weekend and see how it goes from there....

If I could redo the last 2 decades I'd have wanted to start bird photography in my 60s rather than in my 20s.

There arent attractive looking women bird watchers/photogs. They're all 2x my then age & fugly.

The Great White Egret used to be very rare here, but we are now having more visitors and I occasionally see one, usually not close. They are magnificent birds in flight. Got this one today with the 100-500 @ 1000mm on the R5.
