It has been a while since I posted here since I haven't done much sorties lately. Finally I was able to bring my walk around rig (5DM3 + 300 f4 IS + 1.4x Sigma TC) to prison.

A great set of shots. I especially like the doves against the rich red of the soil and it's nice to see Zebra Finches in the wild rather than in cages and aviaries. What part of Australia were you in at the time.
Happy birding

Looks like you have found a new playground where the birds are plenty and not so shy. Very nice pictures. Well done Neon & Mabuhay.

Thanks Ramon, Bobby, Ely and Mark Jason! Here is the bird which is the number one on my list. At first I thought it would be difficult to get a single capture but once I figured their habit it was not that hard anymore :-). Got a toasted nape for the effort. Didn't realized I was getting sunburnt already waiting for the "shot", I was too engrossed watching a flock of more than 20 individuals. Variegated Fairy-wren ( Malurus lamberti ) f8, 1/800 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure Very difficult to get a good exposure on this bird due to its metallic head, its easy to get the details blown. I was shooting slightly under exposed and PPed for the even exposure. :-)
