Birds are Showing their Faces Again!
Now is the time to start shooting photographs because many of the birds are starting to get their mates and they are looking their best, besides they want to be visible to the potential companion. As soon as the sun is up early in the morning most birds start their activities. I usually wait for the most appropriate light conditions which help in getting better images with long lenses. I’m still shooting through the window pane, later when it gets warmer I will open the window and that will definitely make a great improvement on the quality of the image. Of course many more species will be returning from their migration and the variety of visitors will increase considerably. 🙂 Yeah!
I bring you a few more photos I’ve shot the past few days.

I too, take photos through the window but am waiting for warmer weather to get some outside shots. Enjoy your blog and photos. Thanks for sharing.
That’s great, maybe we can see some of your pictures. Thank you Daphne! 🙂
You have inspired me! Three pink and grey galahs visited today and I never got a picture – argh! I will be more attentive tomorrow. I love your photos!
Thank you Julie! Just be patient but be persistent because the birds don’t actually pose there for you. Be ready and wait until they stand for a few seconds, that’s your opportunity to take a shot. Soon you’ll get the knack of it! 🙂 If I can do it, you can do it too!
