Bird Pics at Punggol Park

tchuanye · 24th October 2006

First time shooting this bird....I am more of a macro shooter than birder....but this fella was nearby.

FZ10, F4-F4.6, 1\500s

By the way, is this a Little Heron?

Appreciate any views on the shots....compo, etc. Is the BG distracting?

#1:Looking right

#2: Looking left

#3:Balance

that is very nice

starrynight · 24th October 2006

nice!
yellow bitten I think

tankm · 24th October 2006

Nice.

BG not too bad as it's more uniform and not "rojak". my few cents.

Jeff · 24th October 2006

nice series portraying this y. bittern in its natural environment in a predatory stance.

as for the bg, i have seen an image whereby the bird is positioned in the centre with its legs spread (doing a banana split), anchoring onto two straws!

i hv no problem with the current bg.

Did a search, and does look like one. It had blue feathers on the wings....so is it still called yellow bittern?

Ouch...that must have been painful....Not sure if its predatory stand or not...the way it look, it is as if they had to stand like that to balance on 2 stalks...

Jeff · 24th October 2006

u can be very sure when it stretches its neck like this. it's seen food

sumball · 25th October 2006

CY, nice shots!

Garion · 25th October 2006

Nice catch Tchuanye.

Yes that is a Yellow Bittern.

BG is ok with me coz this shot is portraying the bird in its natural environment and thus not too distracting.

chngpe01 · 25th October 2006

Very nice pics

I thought the BG was good for the shot, without the BG there'll be less to these shots.
