CommentI have seen a lot of immature Noisy Friarbirds around home in the last few weeks. They have been notable by their loud cackling and frequent, almost constant visits to my birdbath. The seem quite sociable although conflict sometimes arises. They also seem to like 'safety in numbers'. Sometimes. there's barely room for anything else at the bird bath. I notice we have hardly any photos of immature birds of this species in our library. While these birds have the red irises of adult birds, they show the white scalloping on the back characteristic of immatures.
EquipmentCanon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 330mm; 1/400 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1600. 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 v9) where noise reduction was applied globally using Neat Image plugin for PSE. Small adjustments made to improve midtone contrast, control highlights, shadows and subtle addition of saturation. Sharpened after resizing for upload.
