Info The Kaka parrots spend a lot of time digging into tree trunks looking for their prize food - Huhu Beetle larvae. No doubt a delicious high energy fast food for them :-). Low light levels inside the forest in the late afternoon made it difficult to focus and freeze the action, but in this sequence of flash photos I managed to capture the moment of triumph :-).

Comment It is so unfortunate that the focus of the camera shifted to the background of the scene in the last shot... --MAURILBERT (discuter) 15:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the technical quality isn't perfect ;-). The bird was moving quite fast, I also moved the camera, slow shutter speed - surprising anything is in focus :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 20:58, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The first two are OK, the last two are out of focus. Yann (talk) 08:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Focus + hard to discern the bird from the background (could be my eyesight, of course). -- Petritap (talk) 11:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It probably has the idea that it is camouflaged :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no one seems to be thinking that capturing the moment overcomes slight technical deficiencies ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC) [reply]
