He said that I had all the opportunity in the world at Oak Street Wetland and Trin Warren Tam-boore. As a photographer, I was never happy with a photograph taken while standing on a high bank shooting down at the bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, on 4 November 2024, this Dusky Moorhen swam across my path as I was taking photographs of other water bird at Oak Street Wetland. The warm morning light caste a golden orange light on the Moorhen. Still it was a bit far away. I would have preferred the Moorhen to be closer to me. Nevertheless, it is my far my best picture of a Dusky Moorhen. I am hoping to do better next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nikon Z 9, Nikkor Z 800mm f\/6.3 VR S @ 1\/640s f\/6.3 ISO<\/em>450.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was telling a birder that I have never taken a decent photograph of a Dusky Moorhen.
