觀鳥小記

(8月2日)屋前是一片叢林,有很多不同種類的鳥類聚居。閒來無事我會坐在露台觀鳥,上佳節目也。有時也想把它們的姿態拍下來,無奈相機的zoom有限,效果往往並不理想。




黃昏時,它們聯群結隊歸來,吱吱喳喳的,夜後如人一樣入睡,寂靜無聲,然後在早上7時左右醒來,雖不像人一樣要漱口裝身弄早餐,但也似乎忙亂得很的。不過,一般我比它們更早起床,真正是黎明即起...上網去。

我曾經提過,有一天天還未亮,忽然聽到近處傳來kookaburra的怪異叫聲(這種聲音通稱為laughing kookaburra)。一望,竟見此名鳥停在簷上,遂把握機會將它拍下來。其後白天雖也經常聽到這獨特笑聲自叢林中傳來,但卻無緣再見。

(8月7日補充)聽到一聲怪叫,我探頭屋外,竟見kookaburra停在隔鄰的天線竿上!

  2. unfortunately, this kind of sophisticated slr is beyond me. i am a typical dummy camera user.

    moreover, it doesn't look like it can be put inside a denim jeans pcoket :-(
