I managed to fit in a couple of trips to Falmer Pond again today. The light early morning was dire and forced me to shoot at ISO 3200. I'm pleasantly surprised at the reasonably respectable results though. The subject is a cormorant (actually there were a pair), but it was easier to work with the one that was perched (although I did get one shot of them both together).
Still on the colour black, a couple more shots of the mildly piebald jackdaw that I featured last week. These were taken with slightly better light in the middle of the day. This time it was pecking at some grain that had been left for the ducks.
The 'brown' in the title is actually a blackbird, but a female. She was hopping about under the trees.
The white is courtesy of the local goose. I just liked the way its head was peeping over the bank as it grazed.
As for the pink there is really only bird that provides that colour, the tiny long-tailed tit. 
Nothing in the garden tonight, but I've been busy re-processing some old photos of the garden foxes. There are so many to choose from but I liked this portrait of the bold vixen from early 2008. 
Camera note: all today's shots taken with the Canon 7D EF and 400mm f/5.6L USM lens. The fox was photographed with the Canon 400D and Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens.

10 Jan 2012Geese are so cautious! I remember trying to photograph a gaggle of them in Parcul Carol, Bucharest, and a few birds were staying upright and watching me the whole time I loitered near them. As soon as I wandered away, they resumed grazing along with all the others.
Interesting!

10 Jan 2012Long-tailed tit is one very odd looking bird if you ask me :left:

10 Jan 2012Darko, they are very strange, but quite pretty.

10 Jan 2012Lois, thanks! I liked the goose a lot. It was with several smaller greylags who couldn't quite reach as high up the bank.

10 Jan 2012Felix, I'm usually very wary of geese, but these ones are very relaxed with people. I like your shot. :up:

11 Jan 2012A dalmation jackdaw – interesting. Corvids seem to get more colour morphs than most birds.

11 Jan 2012Adele, the jackdaw seems a bit of a loner. The others leave it alone, but I never see it with the main flock.
