Australian Zebra Finch

A sparrow sized bird with many variants brought about mainly by bird breeders.
A very popular avery bird kept by many bird enthusiasts throughout the world because of its beautiful colours.

This bird was photographed at the Meropa Bird Park in Polokwane. For once I was able to get within shooting distance without the bird disappearing into the distance.

Salut Willie!
Bon angle de prise de vue.
Néanmoins légèrement floue. Quelque chose bougeait: vous ou l'oiseau.
Merci

What a pretty bird, Willie, and a very lovely image of it. The colors are super and the pose is picture perfect! Good job.

nice work, however I think it needs to be a little sharper

Very good Willie.
Great colours, composition and DOF.
The sharpness is good for a videocam.
Good note too.
Very well done.

Willie, you are even beginning to sound like an Australian with that title! These finches have certainly spread out around the world. The composition and colours are very good. Well done...

Little soft this time but bird is beautiful.

Nice shot Willie, it seems to me that you enlarged this shot a bit too much, and lost resolution.
The colors are great, but the leaf on top a bit disturbing.

Willie, I guess I'm out of pts. This is a wonderfully colored bird.. Sounds like you where glad just to get within range to come away with this one.. It's a great post! TFS

Willie, you rock with this camera. beautifull capture and critter. Reall a great shot.

Ek dag eers dis 'n Melba! Very nicely done, beautiful littel birdie, Willie.
As a smallnit, IMO, remove the black behing his head, it will improve the O/A image.

Lovely shot, Willie. I like the pose and composition. I have never seen a bird like this before - but that is what TN is all about. Nice!!

Again fantastic looking bird with beautiful markings and such a great pose Willie. Iv just noticed your using a camcorder for these shots? Good heavens. No wonder your getting so close. Merry Christmas my friend.

What a nice little birdie, Willie. Picture is great, nice contrasts between different colors

Tones, colors are really impressive. I like the design of the photo, it is really strong to emphasize the mood of it.
