TAKE TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE

Wings on Wednesday - YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in regard to photographing birds.











































This adorable spotted dove was coo-coo-cooing whilst woo-woo-wooing!!  It was spring in the mountains after all.  It's mate kept flying off so couldn't get a decent one of the pair. This was up at Sidhabari.

Taken with the 'Nik' on manual, 400ISO and the lens extended to full 26x optical zoom. This plus the downsizing for posting gives less than clear results - also did not have the monopod with me and I really notice the difference without it!!

    Sylvia - they were very pretty.

    Bill - ah yes, but it takes time to build a file and am technically still in transition... but fear not, when they start you'll be saying "aaaarrrggghhh..........."!
