Thanks again. Hans, the pins are taped, initial focus is manual and final focus auto. This is about a 50% crop and I discarded 90% of shots despite the IS. Rested on a fence so perhaps I should have turned the IS off.
 
Thanks for this one Tim. A brilliant image of a stunning little bird, well done.
 
Highly beautiful shot, Tim! Love the pose, eye and background. Admirable work. Another bird Ive never seen.. :)
 
This is a superb photograph Tim. Lovely sharp bird, well posed, terrific background. All the elements of a great photo. Thanks
