    Not a macro shot: taken from about 12 feet away*, with the 100-400mm at 400mm. *[edit: wrong! just checked the distance with Nikon laser rangefinder, those leaves are 10 yards away]. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well. John

    I tried to upload this just moments ago and it seemed to work, but has now gone missing. Second attempt! Not a proper macro shot, taken from 12 feet with the 100-400mm zoom at 400mm. A very common species. Thank you for your kind comments on my pictures, and good birding! John
