Native Mynah
Wandering through bushland near Brooklyn, NSW, this little fellow’s curiosity got the better of him, and he came down to take a look at me and the friend I was with, then, unconcernedly, set about having his elevenses.

Thanks, James, and for the fave. I was pretty pleased with him too. I have captured these birds in the past but never with such clarity.
Sue Wotton replied
I think it was the light, really.
Anna D'Accione
Stunning, I have tried to capture but sadly always look washed out. Great work!!!
Sue Wotton replied
I dont know how I missed your comments… thanks Anna, and I’m sorry I missed these a week ago :( This little guy came quite close and was only just above eye level. The 70-300 at 300 brought him very close, close enough to get this. Lightroom saw to the rest of it :)
