wish no 1 : capturing birds (on film!)

One day I would love to have a camera where I could capture birds - not just take pics or all the species or anything - I want to show what I see of birds when I go birding - their humour, their beauty, and the once off times when I am totally in awe. My current little camera is just not good enough. I'm at the right place at the right time - but my camera lets me down.

One day I want to have a camera that will enable me to do things like this amazing couple (from Taiwan) at Flicker that I found by chance the other day :

Currently the best I can do is :




Red Wattlebird

 

Pacific Heron





Silver Gulls (fighting!)

 



Wedge Tailed Eagle

 



Black Faced Cormorant

 




Tawney Headed Honeyeater (rare bird)

  



golden headed cisticola (very wee bird)
