Yes
Originally I thought of suggesting bird portraits to show this, but that would be too restrictive in terms of results and equipment, so I've opted for just:

Behaviour and character.

So many shots of birds look lovely and we say "Aww pretty" but they don't actually show you anything about the subject other than how it looks. I thought a challenge to capture not only a priddie birdie but also a snapshot of the bird's behaviour or characteristics would be more interesting.

Hopefully this will reveal something new to a lot of us when the entries start rolling in - see a new side to a bird we've photographed before, perhaps.

You can enter one image only, this can be edited / changed at any time through the duration of the challenge.

Images must be taken and submitted between 13th July and midnight 9th August.

Good luck! :)


Please use this thread for any discussion of the challenge - and not the actual entries thread which is Here

Cheers!

Great Shot :thumbs:
still waiting to see my first Kingfisher - just a blue flash so far :)

Although, I have just remberbered, I did see one years ago in Greece fishing in the sea off the rocks ... bit of a surprise as I thought they fished fresh water.
This was in the days of film and if I manage to track it down amoungst the thousand of uncatalogued pictures I will post it.
 
I took this at chester zoo
any commnets ?

Great shot :thumbs:

Just a point you should re-post it directly as a new thead on the Bird forum.
A lot more people will see it there.
