Pose-striking Birds 2008-04-17 21:34:38 I have recently been to the Edward Youde Aviary again and left with shots of birds I had or hadn't seen in previous visits.Now it's time to share what I have captured. First off with some hilarious:A Bali Mynah dancing in the sun. Google it for info or images.A Spotted Dove stretching only one of its wings.

Straw-headed bulbul 2008-04-19 05:39:00 Straw-headed bulbul, probably building a new nest.One story to share: every time I took photos in the Hong Kong Park's Aviary, I would check my photos against the Aviary's birds collection list to find out what I had captured; after that I would go to Google to find more info. Except this one, the data on the list are accurate and correct so far.On the list, this bird is referred to as Yellow-crowned Bulbul. I googled with that name and found nothing. So I search with its scientific name - Pycnonotus zeylanicus.And I have it - the bird's common name is Straw-headed Bulbul.No wonder.Please show your support by voting for this blog at the Bloggers Choice Awards

Greater Racket-tailed Drongo 2008-04-19 19:28:00 At first I thought it was a crow, but there's none in the Aviary. So I searched the Hong Kong Park's Birds Collection list, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo appeared to be the best possible answer.Please show your support by voting for this blog at the Bloggers Choice Awards

ABC Wednesday - X 2008-07-01 20:06:45 X for X-perspective.
X is a tough alphabet. To get some ideas, I went through a book on photographic composition, and found a term that can be roughly translated as the X perspective, which means positioning the vanishing point at where two imaginary diagonal lines intersect - the centre of frame. The above photo happened to be an example for this.
