Humble (Bird) Shots - ID req'd

[yellowlemonie]

Here are some of shots from a very short trip to Pasir Ris Park yesterday. Shot using a D100, 500mm catadioptric lens (f8 mirror lens).

All shots are straight from the camera, as my laptop has been sent for repair, so unable to photoshop/do any post-processing to it....

Comments appreciated....

Pretty good results from a mirror lens i must say.

My guesses for the birds:
1. Yellow-vented bulbul
2. Common Iora
3. Black-naped oriole
4. Little heron

cheers

thanks dude.. i thought #2 & #3 were the same species, cos they seemed to be playing with each other, and i thought they were just the male+female....

2 is a juvenile black-naped oriole, not common iora. They are confusing when you just look at the photo. But out in the field, the size and call makes identification much easier.
