Spot the Bird

As I was editing my photos from our visit to Ferne Animal Sanctuary on Friday, I very nearly discarded this one – until I saw the capture of the beautiful bird in flight. It is so well camouflaged against the trees that I considered myself very lucky to get the photo!

For lots more photographs from our trip please see my previous post.

  1. What a great capture, I know what you mean I discard so many shots, I am glad you took a closer look at this as the focus is not always is the obvious place is it, I love how it has frozen the bird x

  2. What a shot! I love the accidental ones, especially when they turn out as good as this (which is rare for me). It’s wings look stunning. #MySundayPhoto

  3. WOW what a beautiful photo, great capture as he’s about to spread his wings to fly off… or land i suppose.

    Thanks so much for linking up to the Easter #SilentSunday – Hoppy Easter. 🙂 x

  4. A fabulous action shot Victoria, the wings look amazing.
    I also enjoyed your Ferne Animal Sanctuary photos too.

  5. Great capture. Really hard to spot so well done for keeping hold of the bonus shot! Hope you all have a great Easter

    1. Thank you Emma – I thought I hadn’t got it so was really pleased to see I had! 🙂 You too x

  6. I love the motion in its wings, it shows off the colours and pattern

    Happy Easter

    Thank you for linking up

  7. Hi Victoria, it’s a lovely photo and looks as if the bird posed, just long enough for you to get the picture.

  8. So many times I’ve almost discarded pictures only to look again and think “no” I can make that work!”. Glad you didn’t delete this one. It’s a brilliant shot. #MySundayPhoto

  9. It would have been a shame to have binned this – it’s a great motion capture of a particularly graceful moment.

    1. Thank you so much Sara. I had been aiming to photograph the bird in flight but hadn’t realised I had managed it! You too x
