MINIVET 1/3 - Grey-chin Minivet



Grey-chinned Minivets

 
 
 
 
When the sifu says they come in droves he mean it. I encounter the same scene on 240906 along the stretch around the first corner downhill side 1 km deep in the Old Pumphouse road.Sadly the trail is now gated and only authorised personnel are allow in only. MNS must do something about it.

I tell you its exhilarating as you snap non stop for a good 5-10 mins or so as you fumble with the camera settings and discarding the monopod; turning off the OS when flashing; up the Iso amongst the shade and back..............and what do i get crap pictures and camera shake. amateurish ..........shit happens

 
 
 
 
The acceptable photos of the minivets out of tens taken are here. The other birds that tagged along the frenzy communal gathering were nuthatch, drongo and several others that I only got a glance which just flew pass into the hill side or to ravine side

This is my first time at the old pumphouse road and it will not be my last. Maybe a picnic with the family ...............
