Stunning shots maxhr, great composition and the clarity is amazing.

Brilliant photos.... hope the fan kept you a bit cooler in the hide.
What is bird #1 ?
I really like #2, with the colours, patterns and smooth look of the water - plus the bird enjoying a moment to cool off.
Thanks Brian, WD.
The first bird is a Rufous Whistler.
Thanks maxhr - i should have recognised it,
Absolutely incredible setMaxhr,

Wow! Absolutely brilliant!

Great shots Maxhr. Beautiful detail!
Very remarkable shots maxhr. You certainly have your own unique style which is great.
Maybe I need to set up something a bit better near my bird baths. I mainly just get noisy Miners and Crows in mine, but I wonder what would happen if I set up my hide and spent a few hours out there.
Do you find it more popular mornings or afternoons?
Yes, that second shot is fantastic, but sorry i don't know what bird it is.

Thanks everyone, i find afternoons best, 3pm-5;30pm, but it needs to be in shade.
the water can get incredibly hot in the sun, i clean and fill mine daily.
the birdhide itself gets really hot as well, had a fan blowing the other day, made a big difference
The birds need to be in the area, -i'm surrounded by small 5 acre blocks which have some native tree/vegetation cover.
it's so dry atm, the driest i have ever seen it, somehow the birds are surviving.
Great set, like others particulary love #2. Hopefully you've seen the last of such high temps for the season now
