CommentA flock of about 25 birds, including adults and juveniles were located on private property after my mate (the property owner) sent through some phone photos asking me to ID these birds. We also found a larger flock of approximately 50 birds also with young of varying ages on his other property about an hour away. They were living close to one of the main station tracks and were used to vehicles. A slow approach in the vehicle, parking approx 50 meters away and some luck as the birds slowly approached the vehicle and eventually resting in the sparse cover allowed time to grab a few images. Colour adjustments in Lightroom and exported to Photoshop for selective sharpening and some minor cloning to remove a few distracting small sticks in the background.
