These guys have a very interesting call, rather like a small finch, a very shrill whistle. Comments welcome

Thanks Feng, handheld 100-400 @400 with maybe a bit to much flash. It was pretty dark under the tree, I could have also gone up a bit more with the ISO (400).

I'd normally lie down to get a shot like this but the roo poo put me off, ie I didn't want all over my shirt.

Love both shots Greg. How can you have "too much" flash with a 400 mm lens? How close was the subject to you? (I forget the range of the 580ex)
