Hi Ivan

Your northern winter doesn't sound to good.
Quite a good shot from the S2, nice and sharp around the head. this is an old bird, you can tell by the size of teh yellow wattle,
Well composed.

good morning Ivan,
After many shots from Sweden and Cyprus of yours, nice to see again your Australian captures. Not only you use SLR of Canon, but also use professionally compact camera of Canon. This is excellent capture by compact. The colorful bird is a nice model, you present its shot with great POV/DOF, composition and details. Lighting and eye contact also super. Movement on right foot gives action on photo. Good notes always
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice Sunday

Well not only has MY storm here not passed...it has been steadily coming down for almost 24 hours...We have over a foot of snow with much more coming by the hour, so this turkey looks to me..well I shouldn't say it, but it is lucky it is in Oz and a while back:-) Very nice Ivan. I did not know that you were also the travel ling photographer...at least cross ocean..Very nice addition from your archive.

Hello Ivan,
What a surprises in your archive. I've seen more photos of this Turkey, but never with such a rimpled yellow wattle.
Beautiful colours, good sharpness, POV and composition.

Hello Ivan,
Extraordinary bird and I don't have to tell you the ID;-).
These are the colours of our national flag in the right order.
Black, yellow and red. Maybe I can introduce it here; we can use it these days...:-)
Well done
TFS

Hola Ivan,
You've captured the inquisitive characteristic of this megapodiid bird perfectly my friend, the bird-height POV made it possible to record the colorings and feather details of it very nicely. The life cycle of this interesting familys members was one of the popular topics of my course on zoogeography while I was in active duty. Thank you for reminding me those fine times.

hello Ivan

beautiful photo with a excellent sharpness of the subject,
he is on movement and his foot is blur, i went to see the
shuetter speed and it is at only 1/125s, i understand why
that place of this amazing bird is blur, but you kno what Ivan,
i like is this way, the blur at that feet gives the impression
of the movement of the bird, TFS

Hi Ivan,

I love the way you caught this colorful turkey in mid-step. Funny how the body is horizontal to the head. Good details and colors - especially of the face showing off the eye.

Things have been alot nicer here at last on the south coast of the UK, i hope your weather improves quickly too. Still, this is a fine shot to have tucked away in the archives. Perfect focus and DOF, with fine detail and a good composition.

Hello Ivan,
Great job of capturing this megapode under low light conditions?
Actually an action shot caught mid-stride..perhaps he thought you were considering him for supper? ;)
Would love to visit Australia myself.
Well done,
Howard

This 'Big Feet' bird from Australia is a novelty for me, Ivan. I like the colours of its head, neck and plumage.
You have given very useful information about the species in your note.
Thanks for both the picture and the note and best regards.

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for sharing this post as I have never seen a turkey looking like this.

Nice shot in excellent colors. The neck looks rather funny with the balding head. Good sharpness in the head and well shot in natural habitat.

Have a wonderful weekend and best regards,
Jusni
