298 Blue Whistling Thrush 紫嘯鶇
04/6/2003
Bride's Pools 新娘譚
EOS10D + EF100-400 IS, ISO400
http://www.danielckchan.com/pagephotos/b20030266-0600-200306041613.jpg
I had been Bride's Pools for leisure and hiking on 4 Jun 03, and brought my 10D + 100-400 combo in case of seeing birds. Luckily I met with this larger sizing woodland bird with my relatively portable combo, though the lighting and background condition was not good. I like its violet plumage.

Exposure was right on too ...

Hi Daniel
Grea pic!
I like the background - it is an" honest" reflection of the habitat of VWT!

KK, Mike & Hendrix,
Thanks for your words.
Hendix,
I had seen the followings. There are many dragonflies and damselflies but also many people around. Since I had been there for lesiure and hiking mainly but not for bird watching or photography, I may overlook some birds around.
2 x Violet Whistling Thrush 紫嘯鶇
2 x Chestnut Bulbul 栗背短腳鵯
Some Crested Bulbul 紅耳鵯 & Chinese Bulbul 白頭鵯 & Great Tit 大山雀
Best

I really like the colour of the birds. Did it happen to hop within your sight? It looked as if it was going to get away.
I went there too during Easter Holidays (who cares about that SARS anyway?)  I only see 2 great tits, a gang of Japanese White eyes, a bunch of damsflies, moths, plus a micro mantis ( less than an inch long! ) on my tripod . Not as lucky as you are.
See ya around.
Griffin.
