Shots may appear a little strange because he was standing on a bank & I was shooting slightly downward. Here's another shot of the back...   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10370%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg « Last Edit: Feb 22nd, 2006, 4:14pm by BBS Moderators » Logged Your inability to tolerate my ambiguity is compounding your neurosis anonymous_guy2 BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 209 Re: Eurasian Woodcock (Lamma Island) « Reply #6 on: Feb 20th, 2006, 11:03am » Quote Modify A few shots showing the food searching process, for any that haven't seen it before (I hadn't)........... in fact was my first Woodcock ever. Not easy birds to come across.   Pictures 3 & 4 may look the same, but if you look carefully.......... having found the spot in "2", it positioned itself & pushed its beak into the ground in "3".... then in "4" flexed ints legs to drive its beak further into the ground.   Not as exciting as other birds & prey sequences, buy nonetheless quite interesting........   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10358%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10359%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10360%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10361%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10362%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10363%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10364%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10365%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10366%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg   http://lamma.hk/image_files/birds/AGuy_10367%20-%20Eurasian%20Woodcock%2 0%5BScolopax%20rusticola%5D.jpg « Last Edit: Feb 22nd, 2006, 4:18pm by BBS Moderators » Logged Your inability to tolerate my ambiguity is compounding your neurosis Bob Thompson BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 433 Re: Eurasian Woodcock (Lamma Island) « Reply #7 on: Feb 20th, 2006, 12:16pm » Quote Modify Love the series Guy, definetly worth the wait in your hide   Bob Logged oLDcaR BBS Member BBS God I'm Lovin it     Gender: Posts: 102 Re: Eurasian Woodcock (Lamma Island) « Reply #8 on: Feb 20th, 2006, 10:02pm » Quote Modify outstanding series, good shoot anonymous   Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得 => Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
