.... continued :) for Michael

 

I posted a thread on the sparrow and Michael advised me to close the aperture to f:11 or f:16.I show you in this new thread the result.He is right , it's much sharper :)

 

The situation has changed a bit because I am now closer (less than 2-3 meters instead of 6 meters last time)

The last thread :

Henry, nice bird shots. I really enjoyed seeing the magpie.....so here is an example of the bird that we Australians call a magpie. To me it looks really quite different to the bird in your shot.

There a few slightly differently marked magpie types spread across Australia, for instance the northern birds have black backs. This is our south eastern bird, the males (of which the bird in my shot is one)

have a pure white back, the females tend to remain greyish-white backed all their lives, only lightning up slightly from their grey colour as chicks. They are loud, savage, extremely territorial and really prefer raw meat to cooked.

The mated magpie pair that claim the territory which just happens to include the house in which I live, have recently presented me with three chicks just out of the nest, so now I have five demanding birds lined up for food.

Dee , interesting conversation. Thanks LUF :)

According to Wikipedia, the European pie (Eurasian magpie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is in fact Eurasian

and the Australian magpie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_magpie) different was introduced in New Zealand

as the sparrow ! surprising

The pie is the most intelligent bird . Not surprising

Thanks for your comment and for the picture Dee :)

A last info , it's also a french candy brand : Le Candy Shop: La Pie qui Chante.... ("the pie who sings")

Best

Henry
