I was bothered why big birds sit in trees, and am relieved to find myself a good answer today: They spend time calculating a dive for a prey without mistake. Indeed, they are a good mathematician.
So, an egret on top of a tree should be able to solve my another problem. From that lofty vantage point, it definitely can tell how big is my playground.
But a Common Flameback who is drumming on a tree stump certainly cannot. Nobody can think while busy playing heavy rock.
The Lineated Barbets who camouflage themselves are never reliable too, especially when their noses are being turned up.
So, how big is my playground?
It is as far as I can journey.

i love that first shot. the beautiful trees in the background set off the egret so well! :)
I'm glad you have such a large playground. That means you can get many wonderful pictures like this first one to share with us.
oh, lovely photos, i love your huge playground, and that egret with trees in the background is really very beautiful. love your big playground, such joyful place to be.
as big as the universe. have a great weekend!
Seems like your playground is huge, and endless if you want it to be. Beautiful photos, Rainfield, and have a great weekend..Get out and play some more!
Perhaps the egret could do my taxes? :)
Brilliant shots!!
Your playground is as big as you want it to be. Could be just by your backyard or the world..:) Have fun..
Amazing captures!
Happy weekend.
Wow..I missed your terrific blog!! What an acceptional capture and I thought it was clouds in the background at first!
You made an excellent point too.
I appreciate your thoughtfullness and yet I haven't figured out a way to reinvent myself like Madonna (ha ha)
Top photo is my favourite!
I haven't seen the Barbets before. Nice photo!
Nice pictures! Love that Egret way up at the top and that bird that looks like our Pileated Woodpeckers.
I guess my playground is not much, since I only see from inside. I love your header picture!
The background in the first picture is actually Cerok Tokun.
Yes, cheapie barber from Fiji, $10. That was the last time my son had his hair cut. Now he is like a JA BO. he wants to be a surfie junkie.
No matter how big the playground is, the lone egret will sure return to home one day!
wonderful camera n skills..
"......." cheers...
Rainfield, I like your answer, your playground is as far as you can travel. The Common Flameback does not look common. Wonderful birds and gorgeous photos.
That first picture is gorgeous. It looks like a silk embroidered panel.
Fun post~great pictures!
Your playground looks huge in these pictures. I love seeing these birds. That first picture is especially impressive. You really did well with that one.
Obviously your new playground is as big as your zooming power of your new lens...:-)
PS - Thank you for sharing with us at Your Sunday Best! :)
Wow! Wherever you are (these were taken) - it looks like paradise :)
Especially, I'm interested in the first photo.Because the tree is seen very prominenntly.Your technique of taking a picture is SO great,I think.
Nie sądziłam, że czapla tak wysoko siada żeby wypatrzeć miejsce do połowów. Pozdrawiam. *** I did not think heron sits so high that spotted a place to fish. Yours.
Wonderful captures!
came back to visit, my room is called Kotuku, Maori for egret. I think I like to be perched on top of the dead tree than inside my class room.
The whole world is your playground because you are so playful :)
Beautiful pictures of these birds - and once again unique thoughts!
The world is your playground depending how far you want to travel like the birds in your pictures.
Well,my dear, you don't need more than that!!
Clever birds!
