I can see that appearing on Naturescapes when the egrets are finished     I guess you were in a hide as the Blue Whistling Thrushes around here would fly a mile if I got that close with a 300mm lens!

The brown in the plumage in the earlier photos I presume is the effect of harsh reflected light........, whereas in the current photo there was no light to speak of, which is why shutter speed was down to 15 at F/4. Light today was very flat as well as being under canopy...... so no reflected light   All the best & thanks for viewing Logged Your inability to tolerate my ambiguity is compounding your neurosis Etta BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 993 Re: Violet Whistling Thrush (Lamma Island) « Reply #10 on: Feb 6th, 2006, 10:39pm » Quote Modify on Feb 4th, 2006, 7:17pm, anonymous_guy2 wrote: & another from today...... same bird, different light....... shot at 15s & F4.
