I too, have seen far more Yellowrumps around this Winter, and I agree they seem to be surprisingly difficult to photograph, and in large flocks, they're usually very flighty. That's why I was pleased to get a few images. I think the real shot would be to get them in flight with their yellow rumps showing, so much more interesting.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-59687377672662046312008-06-17T21:03:00.000+10:002008-06-17T21:03:00.000+10:00The yellow-rumped thornbills have been prevalent a...The yellow-rumped thornbills have been prevalent at Tinderbox lately. A few weeks ago, a group of about 40, plus one flame robin, were busy feeding on the ground. They took little notice of me and my camera but with early morning low light, I didn't manage one really sharp shot of the thornbills in over a hundred photos. Fortunately I had more success with the robin.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881229451254119681noreply@blogger.com
