2 Birds and 1 Lens, a photo from Jawa Barat, Java

Photographer's Note

2 birds at the Cibodas botanical garden. I don't know the name of the bird, but they are rather small (can hold two in one palm, I guess) and also very alert. A slight movement, they'll immediately fly away. Using only a 200mm lens made it difficult to get a close enough shot. Pic is cropped from original.

Hi Bebey,
I like your photo a lot, as I love birds. The birds in your photo are sparrows. They are quite common in Europe, and we get some here in Australia too. They are very cute. Your shot is very good, even though it was hard to get very close to them. The birds are clear and the photo is well composed with the white complimenting the green nicely in the background. Good job!
