Nothing really exotic, but just some shorebirds that can be found in Southern China at this time of the year. Taken mostly yesterday in between heavy rain periods, so light was not ideal. I hope I got the ID right. Wood Sandpiper Common Sandpiper Curlew sandpipers (with a Swallow doing a flyby) Little Ringed Plover Red-necked Stint Long-toed Stint And this is what we drove 3 hours for - Cinnamon Bittern And I like this head on view. I think the red things were snail eggs. Thanks for visiting.
That is a nice series Phil. Especially number 5. Have you been taking lessoms from Jim F? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Bob F.
Wo Phil, you're turning into an "Asian Flew!" Pardon the pun. That is a fascinating bird. The entire series is very well done. Which lens were you using. Rich
Congrats Phil, this is a very nice series and a great variety. The Bittern looks like a species of Heron.
Phil.... The Cinnamon Bittern just gave me goose bumps pal..... How long would it take me to fly / drive to this place from the east coast of the USA?
Thank you very much Bob. Jim is my idol and I would be very happy if he can take me as his apprentice. Thanks Rich. I was using the Sigma 500, a really great lens. Thank you Frank. I was extremely excited when I spotted the Bittern. It's my first sighting, and the rain stopped for me to take some decent shots. Thank you Paul. I would like to show our friends here what birds we have here.
Thank you very much Anthony. The last one is also my favorite. Thank you very much, Dave. Thanks for the kind comment, Gordon. Thank Dave. I took the shots from the car with a sandbag.
Thank you very much Jimmy. Thank you Andy. Glad you like it. Thanks for the kind word, Jim. Thank you for taking a look and your kind comments, Louie.
