I was going to post this at a later stage, but thought that I would share it for my 8000th post. These are white fronted Bee eaters, and I liked how each one had a snack in their beaks. Taken on a private farm a few weekends ago. Cleaned some white stuff on the lower part of the perch - which is a protruding root of a tree.
Thanks a stack guys. This was a case of waiting for the right moment to get all three looking the same way. I have others of them looking all over the place.
Wow. I was impressed by the previous post showing two of these guys looking the same way. Amazing how you trained all three to do it, and with food. Congrats on the milestone.
A really special image to celebrate with. To get all three looking the same direction, with a snack, well done.
I like the sweeping perch, adds and interesting graphic element.
Might be interesting to see if you can tease out any detail in the tails.
Congrats on an astounding number of posts Stuart! A great capture with the 3 birds looking the same way with prey! Love the BG, sharpness, HA's and the cool perch with the nice curve!
huge congrats on the milestone. this is one more gem adding one more feather to the crown. three and all with feed that too all three sharp perfectly angled and lit. wow wow and wow
Congratulations on 8,000 Stuart, that is a lot of posts. Wonderful image, I know how difficult it is to get one of these in the frame with prey let alone three and all looking in the same direction with ideal HA. Well done.
Congratulations Stuart on you 8K post. This is amazing how you managed to get them pose for you!!;) Wonderful composition. Love the colors and the exposure.
Stuart, Congratulations on the milestone. Your presence and participation has been wonderful on BPN and it is most appreciated by me and I'm sure everyone else. I look forward to seeing what is going on in your neck of the woods and the unusual birds that you share with us. I always look forward to seeing your posts:) Beautiful image with the 3 of them all w/ snacks. I like the poses, sharp details and image design. Congrats!!
I wouldn't hold back on this image either Stuart! A very fitting 8K posting.
Superb, not only a trio but all with the same HA and and insect to boot!! Great timing and comp.
TFS
Congrats on your 8,000th post Stuart; you help make BPN the incredible website that it is! Fantastic image with a perfect title! I like the fact that the 3 meals are all different insects.
You sure are dedicated SA brother. :) ;) Congrats on 8k for sure and this is a spectacular image to celebrate the milestone indeed. Love the three amigos with the prey and head angles all aligned. Well done and congrats again! :)
I like how people said you "got" or "trained" the birds to look in the same direction. Actually, you had in mind what you were looking for, and you waited until you got it. You came, you saw, you waited. Beyond the beauty of the bee-eaters, I see your mind at work.
