I had this little visitor in my garden today. I hurried to get my camera with the 70-200 and shot a couple of frames of it. They are pretty heavily cropped(around 100% for all of them)

Shot at f/2.8 @ ISO800 to get a proper shutterspeed.

Such a beautiful bird. The second shot is my favorite, it seems a little sharper than the others.

^ Agree, the second is the best.what a great setting and the bokeh is killer with the birds colors.

you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Thanks to all - I definitely agree that #2 is the best and sharpest one :)

Lester Wareham: They are pretty common here in Denmark, we see them pretty often in our gardens :)

Shot another bird today, no idea what kind it is. This was with my new 300mm f/2.8L IS, that arrived yesterday :)
