Shot under very difficult circumstances, the bird was on the nest buried in thick ivy, nervously protecting her chicks, and I wanted to minimise the anxiety. So I took what I could.

Is that a common indian myna?
although the shot is great.. especially under the circumstances... i have to be blatantly honest and say it doesn't do much for me...
/me scurries back into his corner...

Come out of the corner xerebus, it isn't much of a shot, I like the colours, but I haven't managed to get the bird's eye, etc etc.
Yep, I think it is the common myna

This is the first I have seen of your work. You have a nice touch. There is a sensitivity to your photography that gives it a strange but beautiful quality. Show me more.

Hi Greg, a shame about all that ivy. Birds are not an easy subject to take pics of. Cute photo of your dog though.

Greg
I like it
It shows a bird trying to hide and yet looking for mum and dad. The ivy at the front, I think, adds to the vulnerability of the bird.
Lighting would have been tricky in the bushes
Cheers

Love the Bolty Bridge and the one of the river. Where was the river shot?

Thanks for the comments!
Nicole - not actually my dog, but he is a fantastic little fella.
Matt, thanks.
Kipper, the river shot was taken late 70's somewhere around Deniliquin, I can't remember exactly. A group of people on a kind of share/commune farm had - for several years - the annual Mudfest over easter. Probably 60-80 people camping along the river, people frollicking naked in the mud, a huge bonfire every night, they were high times. I got a series of great shots of the river just after dawn, mist on the river, shot on Kodachrome 64

Anything to do with Pipi Storm Circus perhaps?

Not I, but some friends were heavily involved in Pipi Storm.
Including one very well known personality (radio, comedy) of whom I have a rather, er, embarrasing-ish image which was used for their reunion ealier this year.
And no, I'm sworn to secrecy.
