First time using my new toy. I see this little guy quite alot yet I still don't know what type of bird he is. I live on the coast in NSW Australia if anyone knows the birds in these areas. Any critique or comment appreciated.
First, this is a very good shot of the bird and the background combo. I like the way the texture in the rock matches the lines of the birds body.
I think that this bird may be an insect eater, and the reason is because of it's big eyes, which make me think that it flies in twilight or at night.
It's a beautiful bird, and looks somewhat like an American bird, the kestrel.
What a nice capture! Nice detail and great eye contact even though you were probably not too close! Great composition and color! Congrats on the new toy! Lucky you! :)
I reckon it is the Brown Falcon, Falco berigora - the barring on the tail feathers is typical, but I am no expert on Australian birds! I would be delighted to have captured this - it is so exciting to see birds of prey in the wild.
