Sooty-headed Bulbul

Went to a riding school to take pics of a friend's daughter taking lessons and caught some birds and horse in between.

As always, will be grateful for any and all comments - good or bad!

Interesting and colorful looking bird Bobo..and it doesn't appear to have missed many meals..LOL

Are they noisy like bluejays or mockingbirds?

Hi Bobo, I liked the first and the last one, very nice angle.

[Bobobird]

Thanks Flavio.

Thanks Mike. Oh yes, pretty noisy but the tone is sweeter then a jay's.

I'm no expert Bobo but I like the second and the third one. In the first picture the branch in the upper right keep drawing my attention away from the bird... Love the express on the third picture, the bird looks like he caught you in the act of taking his picture.

Thanks Rhonda for the input.

I thought having the 3 diagonals looked cool but see your point and will re-do that one.

Noticed some haloing so did them all again.

Nice series Bobo. Well done.

Thanks Joseph.

Looks like he was mooning you in the last 2 - I think it's pretty funny!
Nice bird - I have been trying to photograph the cardinals in my yard, but they always disappear when I come outside with a camera.

Thanks Kris

Cardinals - leave some wildbird seed in a good position for shooting. Be there before they appear, no sudden movements and you should be good to go.
