CommentThis species was surprisingly common along the east coast of the Eyre Peninsula. Numerous of these were seen feeding in the vegetation. I think this is an adult female as the blue around the eye is relatively pale (strong in males). The overall colour of the bird is well matched to the vegetation.
EquipmentCanon R5 with RF 100-500mm, handheld at 500mm 1/3200 sec, f/7.1, ISO 800. Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting. All noise reduction turned off in DPP. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements) where noise reduction was applied to the main subject(s) using Neat Image plugin for PSE. Stronger noise reduction was applied to the remainder. Main subject selected and adjustments made to lighten shadows, darken highlights and increase midtone contrast as appropriate. Inverse of main subject selected and adjustments made as appropriate to contrast, highlights, shadows and saturation to make the bird stand out more effectively. Main subject sharpened after resizing for upload.
LocationArno Bay boardwalk, South Australia
Keywordsfemale, adult
