I used to have 18-200, and i had a hard time getting a closer shot with birds. now with tamron 150-600. it's much easier. thou i still have to hide sometimes so as not to spooke the birds.
There are 2 munias in the park i shot. This one and the chestnut munia. also java sparrow. i did saw one. but very rarely.

Thanks and enjoy the photos. :)

Beautiful series.

Hi @digitalis... That is a pretty bird! Attractive breast pattern..

Lol sorry that sounds funny but beautiful photos

Yeah. it's like a fish scales pattern.

Very attractive!

Excellent photos. Love that you got them while feeding on the seeds.

Thanks. actually that is the best time to shot them. i can get near when they are feeding. :) my only problem is the grass blocking the shot :(

Great shot, of a beautiful bird

I know right beautiful photos

Thank You .

Stunning photos and what a beautifull bird!

These are really wonderful images. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You. I revive my shooting to share my photo for all to enjoy :)

I do love seeing your bird photos! Your birds are so different from the ones we see. Great photos, as always.

Hiho Melinda. you meant my old bird shot? maybe bec. i used to shot with 18-200mm. or maybe its endemic to philippines or asia. :)

It is not a bird we see in the USA. It is quite beautiful.

It is so sad that this is not seen in Malaysia in the wild these days.
