First time I have seen these (at Richmond) in my life. 30D and 420mm cropped about 20%. Just after this image, I was witness to a Peregrine almost catching a magpie not more than 15m away. In fact, this tree saved the maggie as it quickly turned up and perched and the falcon with his pride damaged flew on. It happened way to fast to even raise my camera.

I know, I can clone that rude branch.  Just too hasty as I wanted to share and am limited for time. |

What a stunning little bird, well done mate. Branch isn't a big deal, I know you'll clone it out in time though |

These are so small, about twice the size of a sparrow!!!! Incredibly little for a dove. |

Very nice capture Akos. I like her eye. Live the digital chainsaw alone. The tree is ok as it is.  Cheers |

Very nice Akos, I remember years ago these were fairly common around the Castlereagh area. Yes, I'm an ex-Penrith area boy lol.

Nice, they wouldn't be that common near Sydney, saw a few up in Sturt NP. I'd suggest 1/2 a stop less flash I think.

I'm an ex-Penrith boy too. However I was more interested in my own bird breeding program (budgies, peach faces and zebra finches).
Nice find Akos. Always exciting to make a new find.

Nice work Akos
The perspective is less than ideal as you know im sure.
And for my taste I find the oof sky showing throught the bg distracting.

Agreed. I have some on a fence post, but they were so skittish, I couldn't drive up or walk close.  Might just crop them a bit and present anyway. |

Nice shot Akos,
Never new you would see these guys around Sydney, very neat. Ohter than the other nits, maybe just a tad overflashed.
Cheers,
