Dollar Bird
These birds are one of the most difficult birds to get a nice photo of
they allways perch very high up,today i heard them in the garden,i nearly dissmissed it as my imagination,they sounded too low,
Well i am pleased i got the L400 out,and even more pleased with these
pics,they really are a 'mission impossible' job in the bird photography world.
I have been watching these birds for many years,they migrate from PNG
every year,they arrive here on the Blackbutt Range on the 27th of September every year,its amazing how the get the same day,but i really enjoy these observations,they depart March 15th,(that day is variable)
They are also called Rollers,they roll in flight,rather rambunctious and noisy,They have that amazon feel about them,i just showed a non bird
person these pics,they remarked how the beak looks Tucan like.
i have never been this close to these birds before,so good to have that lens to get a good photo.
