Congratulations Jeni Williams
Speckled Mouse Bird
Posted this one because I got the wholeTail ! Unfortunately still the wall perch.
Bit of information re this species:
Colius striatus - common fruit eating birds usually in parties of up to a dozen which maintain contact by call. When feeding they clamber mouse-like about the bushes.(hence the name)
Frequent dense bush, scrub and forest fringes.
size. 30 - 35cms.
Exif as per previous posting.
PS - crop, contrast, cloned out bright bg behind top1/3 tail, leaves bottom rt.
Question: I left more space in front of the bird but then it places it plumb centre, so I tried to get the head bottom left 1/3 and did a tighter crop, which would be the better composition?
