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

Those are all very beautiful shots! What gear are you using, if you don't mind?

@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.

Thanks for viewing and for the comments Romy and csmallari. I'd like to add this one. Some say it's a Maya.
