New Zealand Gannet II

Canon 20D, 18-55mm Lens

Visiting the bird lady in Auckland, I was there just as a huge gannet had being brought in after not moving from a boat. After a couple of quick images, The Bird Lady, opened its mouth and asked me to shove a fish down it's gullet.  All in a days work!  This is a rework of the original.  I decided to do a lack and white with selective colouring of the eye.  I thought it turned out rather well!

Perfect Pair

Canon 7D, 75-300mm

Pair of Blue Herons or White Faced Herons snapped at Anakiwa .  This is as close as I could get as the are fairly shy of humans carrying what looks to be a long barrelled gun. I did try to tell them it was only a camera, but I couldn't speak Heron and I don't think they understood English.
