[ A COLLECTION OF BIRDS! ]

rosella.jpg

THE NATIVE BIRDS have been very active in our garden over the past week or so. We normally host a flock of Rainbow Lorikeets every day and recently they have been joined -- well, that's not quite the right word, given the rivalry between different avian gangs -- by King Parrots, Eastern Rosellas and Crimson Rosellas.

We have the usual complement of Magpies, Currawongs, Butcher Birds, Noisy Miners and doves.

So the Nikon D70 with the Sigma 70~200 lens has been tracking the visitors around the garden. There is a gallery of the photographs so far [new ones are being added every day] on Zenfolio

Hi Terry,
We enjoyed the birds, fantastic.
How do you get them to sit still long enough to focus in on them? I think you need to give us some lessons.

i was wondering about your review of the sony h5,dpreview's review claims the camera has stabilization ,could you confirm this.
thanks

Sorry about the ambiguity in my sentence about the Canon S3 which suggests that the Sony doesn't have image stabilisation. It does. And good stabilisation at that. I am going to amend my original post about the Sony to correct that erroneous impression which I didn't intend to give. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.
