Todays justabird shot

[RichardtheSane]

Conditions for photography were not entirely as we like them today.

High ISO, low shutter speed and feathered ones that simply refuse to sit still. Somehow I pulled this one out of the bag. 20D, 100-400L IS @ 400mm and 1/60th F5.6 ISO 1600

This justabrownblackbird did a few other nice poses that made her look stuffed or nailed to the floor which is why I chose this one - even though I am not sure if pressing the shutter while her head was the other way should be considered artistic or foolish. Comments welcome on that.

This is a beautiful photo and a classic IanD pose ;)

Yep, another nice shot, though the head-turn doesn't do it for me.

Not so sharp, but a more appealing pose

[Scottes]

Ooooh, much better. He knows you're there, no doubt.

Great shots Richard, especially considering the conditions.
