these are very sweet! I favor 2,4,5, 8, 10. especially - I think - 8
and 10...
Better than half-decent :-) Sooo hard to photo "dickey-birds". What
a charmer
he is!

I had a great time with a little fantail this afternoon. They aren't shy at
all - if you're careful they will happily perch a couple of feet away and fly
to within inches of you. He even ate a bug off my foot. Unfortunately that
does make them prone to predation.

They eat insects on the wing and people tend to stir those insects up as they
move about. It's fun to watch their antics as they flit through the air in
random directions while happily chirping to each other. I consider it a real
blessing to have them hanging around our garden. My late grandmother used to
like them so they do remind me of her.
I had a lot of trouble with the light and ended up using the RTF at 800ISO.
Other than that it's the good old K10D, FA*200mm f/2.8 and FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro.
You know it's a good day birding when you have to use the 100mm macro. I used
to dream of getting half-decent photos of fantails.
Cheers,
Dave
