It doesn't get any easier
... to get pictures of camouflaged birds! Even though I'd had some practise at it already!

This Bar-shouldered Dove really does blend in so well with the forest floor, doesn't he.

Location
Taromeo Dist Forest, Queensland
Date taken
20 October 2019
Scientific name
Geopelia humeralis
Equipment used
Nikon Coolpix P900 Birdwatching mode
Sometimes the camera can't decide who to focus. Delia, I have two shooting modes, one is the user setting and then the birds setting. I suggest you try it. If I can do it I know you can. It's on the dial displayed as U. If you want you can PM me.

Not sure I would have seen it with my eyes.

Nicely spotted and captured girl!
 
impressive camouflage indeed, Delia, excellent photo you managed to get of this beautiful dove, top job, many tfs!!!
 
He's surfing on a stormy sea of sticks, D.,
a look of determination on his face as he
battles to stay on his board.
A supershot.
