Coming in for a landing to change places with mate. Thanks to the quick response of the D50, I was able to turn on the camera and shoot a series of photos as he flew by.

Well, it's a really nice bird, I think she makes a nice subject for photographs.
Anyway, it's the only bird I can get close enough to with my kitlens. Perhaps when I get my 70-300 I will be able to take pictures of other birds.

Sounds good, but dont forget the little fella - I like budgies.:)

A friendly local. Called a Kea.

Hasn't learnt to fear humans yet.

Pelicans, they always seem to be smiling.
