(But he was a much better golfer than I am a photographer.)<BR/><BR/>@ Gaye: Top birds as they're usually so unwary. Re your nest post: I suspect failure rates from laying to fledging are much higher than generally thought: and very much higher for some species. But I don't have a lot of figures.<BR/><BR/>@ Duncan: First top shot from lens, bought as allrounder until 'prime' time demands (300L+1.4x) can be either afforded (Bless you, Mr Rudd, but not 400L worth) - or no longer resisted!Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-21341658950906381912008-10-21T11:27:00.000+10:002008-10-21T11:27:00.000+10:00lovely detail in that whistler shot Tony, the Tamr...lovely detail in that whistler shot Tony, the Tamron did a good job.Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182951711946882353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-1198297576813736452008-10-21T08:30:00.000+10:002008-10-21T08:30:00.000+10:00hi Tony,I smiled at this and I feel sure you will ...hi Tony,<BR/><BR/>I smiled at this and I feel sure you will come with some ingenious method of watching and photographing the Azure Kingfisher from a more appropriate position. I will be keen to hear of your progress :)<BR/><BR/>The close-up pic of the female Rufus Whistler is stunning. Last season we got to watch the nesting of a pair of Rufus Whistlers:<BR/><BR/>http://hvbackyard.blogspot.com/2008/01/44-disappointing-bird-tale.html<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>GayeGayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899430268722758947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-58456994338091332962008-10-21T04:42:00.000+10:002008-10-21T04:42:00.000+10:00A really great photo of the whistler and good luck...A really great photo of the whistler and good luck with the kingfishermickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-22786331608537180012008-10-20T22:37:00.000+10:002008-10-20T22:37:00.000+10:00Nice portrait of the whistler.
