Excellent catch, Dave. SBJ's in thick undergrowth are difficult subjects at
the best of times. Most people wouldn't have the patience.

Subject: PESO: Grey Warbler
We were visited by a grey warbler yesterday, a bird we occasionally hear
in our area but don't often see (they have a very nice song). They're
constantly on the move so very difficult to photograph. Usually I just
stand and watch them but this time I thought I'd get the camera and take
my chances. I think this is the best photo I've managed to get of one so
far.

K10D, FA*400mm f/5.6, 1/500th handheld at f/5.6, ISO 400. It's cropped to
about 50% of the original area.
The AF on the K10D really doesn't seem to work well with long glass, it
kept annoying me by always starting to focus closer when it needed to go
further away. To make it worse, this lens focuses to 2 metres and doesn't
have a limiter. Probably doesn't help that I was shooting under a canopy
so the AF didn't have much in the way of contrast.
Cheers,
Dave
