Finally made it to the Zoo for the first time since our Honeymoon over 4 years ago, and this time I had not 1 but 2 real cameras. This is a shot I took inside one of the walk around avaries, in the wetlands section, can anyone help with an ID ?



Also thanks to JohnD for suggesting the bird show, here is my take on the Wedge Tailed Eagle (love them, beautiful birds).



I also got very close to the resident Sea Eagle. Sadly she was injured so will never be released to the wild.

A finch?

Craig thats definately a Java Finch or Sometimes called a Java Sparrow

Thanks Jethro, you are 100% right http://www.javafinch.co.uk/

Exquisite photos! The detail on the first and last is outstanding.

Great shots Craig. Nice detail.
Did you use your 80-200 or something longer?

Cheers

That first image is a cracker! Not only is it sharp as a tack...but the bird is also doing something interesting...giving it character...

Both of the other shots are also great....but I still keep going back to the first one..

80-200 and Katie used the D70 + 18-200VR, I'm trying to get her to post a great owl photo she took.


Thanks for the comments Bindii, the first is my favourite of the 3 too, probably my favourite of the whole zoo trip.
