Hi all,

Pin-striped tit-Babbler - a perky little fellow!

Red-billed Blue Magpie - although it is common at Ba Vi, I never get bored of photographing this stunning bird

Lovely photos Sebastien. The light is beautiful. Must have been a nice day out.

Thanks Richard, yes....light is particularly nice in autumn, here at Hanoi. And you can walk more than 200 meters without sweating like hell. Great season for birding !
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this beautiful season because I know that the winter will be a totally different story :((
Very nice photos Sebastien :) I love the compotition of the Yellow-browed Warbler shot, and the bokeh is very clean :)
ReplyDeleteCharming autumn, come to us :)
Cheer
Thanks Hoang, I like the YBW shot also but 100% luck! With the leaf warblers no other choice to blast away continuously in the hope that at least one or two good shot will be found!
