Sunset and change of the coloration of feathers
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2007 1:14 pm
Dear Chatters,
Most probably many of you seen a Spotted Redshank in breeding plumage. We are just preparing a color ID plate for this species.
Our reference photo shows a completely brown plumage which normally should be carbon black.
My images taken just before 7PM in mid July in Central Europe. Do you have experience that warm lights around sundown change the black colors so drastically?
The question is important to be able to decide what should be illustrated in the book!
