Went to the zoo today and snapped a few pics of birds. It was a really dull day but some came out okay.
This was a cool new enclosure they had with tons of these birds - they would fly down and land on your hands and eat out of them - I didn't managed a picalthough I tried while I had a bird in the other hand - they kept flying away. I had a better shot lined up than this - the whole tail was in it - but when Ilooked at it here it was slightly out of focus.
A couple of penguins:
Getting pretty dark when I got to the sea eagles so this isn't great. Impressive birds though.
This stork one is a little better as I could get closer and was shooting in more light - even though it's about 10 minutes later. More of a silhouetteobviously and the blur around the bird is the bars of the cage - I thought that made it more interesting.
