Birds Crimson Chat

[Ralph]

Went to this area called Hobbs Patch in New South Wales which is just go over the Murray River bridge and you are in NSW.
The bird I got today is the Crimson Chat and as with most males, they are the stand outs.

• ILCE-7M3
• 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports 021
• 600.0 mm
• ƒ/11
• 1/400 sec
• ISO 640

This next one is much plainer and is the female of them.

• ILCE-7M3
• 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports 021
• 559.9 mm
• ƒ/6.3
• 1/800 sec
• ISO 640

Lastly this is one of the young ones and I am unsure if this is a male or female as it will change to the male plumage it is a male.
Or stay close to what it is now if it turns out to be a female.

Ray thank you mate. In all honesty I am saying thank you to you all and I fully appreciate what is being said. These Crimson Chats come from the north to breed here and other area's as up north it is call the wet seasons. So they come to where it is hotter and less rain to breed.

Kev thanks mate as these are visitor's here and they can go to the same area's around here but birds have wings so there is no way in knowing where they will settle down to raise their 2 clutches, appreciated very much.
