Not often the birds line up for same 'natural' perch beside the road at eye level with the trusty Troopy but busy Rainbow Bee-eater and fidgety Willie Wagtail couldn't get enough of landing spot and feast of insects in air close to northern arm of Mundy Creek on Old Common Road, Townsville, this morning.
'Natural' because on first photographing the Rainbow two annoying side twigs kept getting in the way. So, naturally they were sneakily removed and birds were left alone for 10 minutes or so. On return from hunting other action further along the road both birds were still at it.
Why not remove the other bits so out of focus? So intent on the birds I didn't twig to intruding debris. Sometime drive for perfection needs a lot more work, I'm afraid.
Second thoughts overnight. Quick tidy-up with Gimp to clone away most obvious OOF bits - and wee extra sharpen. Far from perfect, but better.
