Got some closer pictures. Of course can't be compared with yours, but I am quite pleased with the pictures and the time spent with this wonderful bird.   This bird appeared to be darker and more fluffy compared to the one in your picture. Is it a different one or is it because it is molding   #1   A portrait taken at quite some distance. But fortunately it was front-side lighting and cloudy. So quite a bit of details can be seen with the cropped image.   EOS 10D + EF300 + 2x +1.4x http://www.pbase.com/image/24872153.jpg #2 I was very lucky to be able to capture this classic posture. Unfortunately it is back lighting. So the bird is quite dark compared with the very bright background. EOS 10D + EF300 + 2x http://www.pbase.com/image/24872164.jpg #3 It finally took off by late morning. I was able to capture a few flight shots (though not very exciting ones) to wrap up the event. Note the very dark face. I was unable to brighten it further without burning out the his very reflective shoulders.

As the oriental stock walked towards the crowd, they all wakeup and tried to back away from him, including the usually agressive grey herons. Perhaps its because of its size. You can see how large the oriental stock is compared to the BFS and the grey heron. He is very lonely.     MPNR 6-Jan-04 EOS 10D  EF300 + 2x Logged Bob Thompson BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 433 Re: Oriental Stock 東方白鸛 « Reply #8 on: Jan 7th, 2004, 4:36pm » Quote Modify Nice Shot Angus,   Its a pity that there is one BFS right behind the storks legs. Maybe photoshop could remove it?   Bob « Last Edit: Jan 7th, 2004, 4:38pm by Bob Thompson » Logged KK Hui BBS Member BBS God Bird Photography - at its best ...     Posts: 940 Re: Oriental Stock 東方白鸛 « Reply #9 on: Jan 7th, 2004, 9:09pm » Quote Modify on Jan 7th, 2004, 3:44pm, Anguslau wrote: ...

Poor soul!!!!   I made a trip specially to see him/her this afternoon and managed to take a few images ...     I don't normally like shots with the bird flying away from me but this one is more for a comparison (wing top pattern) with my previous one. I think this is the same bird I saw in early Nov 03!     MPNR 07/01/04   EOS-10D, EF600/4L + EF1.4x Evaluative @ -1/3, ISO 200   KK Hui ARPS www.geeocities.com/kkhui_001 « Last Edit: Jan 7th, 2004, 9:14pm by KK Hui » Logged 深藍 Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Oriental Stock 東方白鸛 « Reply #10 on: Jan 7th, 2004, 11:16pm » Quote Modify on Jan 5th, 2004, 6:39pm, Anguslau wrote: It looks like an Oriental Stock to me.

I was at Mai Po on same day 11am-5pm. Too bad that I did not notice any stork. That would be a BIG bonus if I had seen one. Congratulations!!
