Beautiful series of native birds, Lance! Thank you for sharing their beauty with us

Thank you very much, Jaap. Much appreciated!

Personally I think the Friarbird is most representative of me as I age so I kinda like him. Great images. The light on the raven is stellar. Hard to get that detail.

Thank you very much, Michael. Much appreciated!

Wonderful work on these, Lance. Nicely done!

Thank you very much, Koos. Much appreciated!

Lance, Thank you for introducing me to some birds that are not familiar to me! The color rendering on the Australian Raven is stunning.

Great shots indeed. Love the Yellow-throated scrubwren, which can be quite hard to get a goo shot of being so often in low light and often dense vegetation!

Thank you very much, Marion. Much appreciated!
Yes, the Yellow-throated Scrubwren has always been a difficult bird due to its propensity to be in the forest undergrowth and from where I have always seen it very dark undergrowth! This particular time, it had a young one with it and was more intent on getting food to it rather than worrying about me and hence it went more into the light more often and I was able to get this image.

Wonderful set Lance! Separation of the birds from the backgrounds is masterful.
