I hope it's fine to post birds shots taken here Fukuoka, Japan. These birds live in Oohori Kouen (Oohori Park), a large park with a man-made lake at the center. Last Saturday I went there and took these photos. I'm not sure if we have the same species in our country. It'd also be great if you guys can identify them.  01   |

@bob Thanks for the identification and for the compliments. All this time I had been thinking that the last photo was a stork. Thanks. @bobby Thanks for the comment. All shots were taken using my D40 (set to vivid) and 70-300 VR. Post-processing included level and curve adjustments and sharpening. |
