Rufous-Bellied Thrush, a photo from Bahia, Northeast

Photographer's Note

And to finish this series of birds from my hotel in Itacar�, I present you this rufous-bellied thrush (Turdus rufiventris), one of the most popular birds in Brazil, quoted by several poets as the bird that sings in the season of love, the spring.

It is a much appreciated singing bird, which resembles the sound of a flute. It sings mainly at dawn and in the afternoon. The song serves to demarcate territory and, in the case of males, to attract the female. The female also sings, but at a much lower frequency than the male.

Hello Alexandre,
A very good photo of this bird and its piercing eye with a yellow circle around it, which stands out well. Superb sharpness again. You presented a fantastic series of birds here!

Hello Alexandre,

A nice shot of the thrush surveying the remains of the fruit slices. Good use of a shallow dof with good sharpness on the profiled bird. Tfs!

Have a nice new week

Hello Alexandre,
This bird also looks a bit discreet, but it has a very nice pink, or maybe orange, belly and the wings seem to have a greenish tone. I heard it singing beautifully on a web site. Above all this is another beautifully sharp photo with a perfect light and the same fine blurred background.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour Alexandre,

Cette banane semble juteuse � souhait et l'oiseau semble appr閏ier le moment ainsi que le confort de la branche. On voit directement dans son regard.

Amicalement

alexandre

a foto est� boa e bem n韙ida, mas estou estranhando a apar阯cia do bicho, que parece algo desmanzelado, os nossos aqui parecem mais bem cuidados. vai ver era uma ave idosa ou adoentada.

Hello Alexandre,
This bird looks a little suspicious to the camera. He will have noticed the interest of the photographer.
Still, he wants to enjoy the many tasty fruit.
Down its feathers have a lighter, more yellow colour.
Perfect sharp picture with a blurred green of the forest on the background.
Best regards, Paul

Hola Alexandre.
De nuevo otra magn韋ica variedad de pajaro, este con un plumaje no tan vistoso, pero muy atento con su ojo a lo que ocurria a su alrededor, buena cantidad de frutas para tentar su apetito.
Excelente captura luminosa y n韙ida!
Un color magn韋ico, que da a la imagen mucha riqueza crom醫ica.
Bien hecho. Me gusta.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

alvaraalto (42804) 2019-05-16 14:05

Hello Alexandre
It is often not the most beautiful birds that sing the most beautiful.
Just like people, one wants to impress with his body and another want to convince another with a beautiful serenade.
It was an interesting series of Brazilian birds.
Excellent work
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Hi Alexandre,

You got a good eye contact withe the birs. The point of view is showing the details of the Rufous-Bellied Thrush. The sharpness is very good. Have a nice day.

Hola Alexandre Besides performing endearing melodies in the love season, this tiny 'Castafiore' lays blue eggs speckled with dark-brown spots, according to my research. You surely got the ideal opportunity by your hotel to capture the different anatomical details of each of your new friends for instructive details. Abra鏾s

mkamionka (74481) 2019-05-24 11:39

Hi Alexandre,
less colorful bird but such a great quality of picture.
We can see perfectly sharp the eyes and other details of the bird.
Great shallow depth of field.
Brilliant wild life capture!

Y, por supuesto, no puedo dejar su galer韆 sin visitar a nuestras queridas aves.
Una gran captura como de costumbre, con el p醞aro parado en su "restaurante gratuito" frente al fondo borroso. Y me encant� leer la informaci髇 sobre sus caracter韘ticas. u canci髇 de flauta debe ser tan agradable de escuchar en la temporada del amor!
