In the middle of the white circle is a bird. Someone in the small birding group spotted it; how they did I'll never know.....
it was a Wonga Pigeon, and it really wasn't until I opened this photo up back at home that I got to see it much clearer. Thank heavens it's a big size bird to fill up the frame like this.
further along some evidence of storm damage with fallen timbers
I've never had a good look at this Pigeon in real life - usually it remains a distant 'tree speck' to me! It's a beautiful bird though, thanks for sharing!
Sinbad and I (John), also Montanagirl (Mona), yes zoomed to max (1200mm) and hand-holding and cropped/re-sized. Thanks to all who have left a comment; I really enjoy reading them and knowing that you come visit and see what I have seen "out there".
thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
Great shot of this pigeon. Wonderful to be able to zoom in and ssee things like this that you couldn't even see originally.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of this pigeon, Carole.
ReplyDeleteVery nice weekend.
Greetings Irma

Wow - Your telephoto reach amazes me. Is that shot using only your camera zoom, or did you bring it in closer in a photo program? I'm impressed!
