A Noisy Miner

Love the colours and composition.

Hi Todd,

 

wonderful shot! The bird (I have never seen this species before, not even in a picture) is obviously looking for something. What species is it? I only know European birds. The composition, colors, DoF and focus are all very good. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Peter, thank you so much for your very nice comment! Todd

Hi Vincent, thank you for your great comment! I looked it up myself because I do not know the Australian bird species very well, and it is called a Noisy Miner. It is part of the Honeyeater family of birds. They were very plentiful around the parks in Sydney and from what I have read, they are very aggressive with other bird species. Warmest regards, Todd

Todd, I'm looking at it again, this time in large, and liking it even more. It's a *very* good photo.

 

PS for Vincent also, I thought at first this was just a spelling variation on the Mynah bird , but no it is a separate species, and Todd (shouldn't have doubted) has it correctly as a Noisy Miner.

Peter, thanks for taking another look and your appreciation of the photo! I was surprised at the bird's name as well when I looked it up. Todd
