Waiting

by Lowela

A very noisy birdling spotted by my dad one morning in the garden,back in the Philippines. Probably it was waiting for its mom... Thing is, I don't know what kind of bird this is....

He has a really oddish colour. Is it his original colour? The shot is nice and sharp.

makes a change from the birds I see here - very unusual colouring and fine detail
No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Very unusual but the colour is growing on me. Maybe a bit bright, but that's part of the vivid joy of the image.
Best regards, John

It's a grey bird with a yellow tummy. This was taken with my compact that I had to go near the bird to make it sharp. Good thing it can't fly yet.

I think I must have tweaked the saturation John but I couldn't retrieve the original shot anymore. Tried to adjust it back just now but can't get a good result...

and oh, I just searched it, it's called "Tamsi" locally...

Very colourful and vivid image,Lowela! I like the contrast of the rather sad look of the bird with the vivid joy of the bright environment indicated by John.
