I didnt realise you have Mynas over there. They are such a pest here, and have driven out many of the native species, as well as the odd imported one (eg I have not seen a sparrow for years. )

In a local (southern Oregon) creek, a mallard duck minding his own business, and ignoring the coot who came in for a spectacular splashdown just behind him--
Shortly thereafter, things sort of calmed down, and everyone - the mallards and the coots - managed their own version of peaceful coexistence--

Yes, Sue @kyteflyer . They now have a larger population here. Most of the birds that go around suburban Auckland are just introduced and naturalised ones like the Myna. The native ones are usually found in the reserves and/or provincial regions. It's a good thing that, at least, I have seen/captured a photo of a Tui lately. I should probably spend more time in the reserves to get the whole bunch but at the moment, I am getting a lot of blackbirds and mynas which are not friendly to the EVF lag.

This was a very lucky shot when driving out near the Holland Track after doing a water drop. Emus are normally very skirty but this one was happy to trot alongside the car for a bit letting me take photos.

This song thrush straddled along the fence top.
It's challenging to capture the moment they fly but once they are in the air, they are relatively slow.

Quite a few different sparrows have been hanging out in the garden area, behind my old farmhouse in southern Oregon.
Today, it was the turn of a white-crowned sparrow---
Who eventually abandoned the safety of a perch inside a protected bush, to venture down on the ground, in search of succulent insect morsels.
Only too late did I remember the importance of setting a minimum but relatively fast shutter speed to capture the avian action.

This morning I visited the neighboring Oregon town of Klamath Falls where a large group of Black-crowned Night Herons were roosting in a large tree alongside a lake. They are remarkable looking birds. The extreme telephoto end of the zoom on my small Olympus Stylus 1S compresses the birds and the tree branches together into a way that surprised me---
The next shot, slightly cropped, captures one of them in flight - and made me realize that, when all is said and done, birds are really nothing more than small flying dinosaurs.

I like how the 2nd photo shows how they calculate their targets/landing. They keep their eyes on their subjects of interest all the time.

I brought the K200D + 28mm while doing street and didn't really intend to drop by the beach until I was given by a family member 30 mins extra. I thought about shooting rangitoto, again, but these seagulls were flying really low.
A couple more joined the fun.
