The Variegated Fairy Wren is simply so gorgeous I might fly to Oz just for that. And you have caught the best pose.

A few of the birds of prey I saw on Antelope Island today. If I've identified them correctly, I have a Merlin, Kestrel, Great Horned Owl, Bald Eagles, and a Northern Harrier. Not a bad haul for one trip!
+1!Very nice shots, shire guy, I especially like the first one. Beautiful bird and I love the pose.
That last shot looks like a snow-y owl.A few Long-eared Owls from last Saturday in Milwaukee...

I have found that using the 200-800 as a push-pull zoom works quite well if the slide is set to "smooth" and especially the push part. If you start with the lens wide and find the subject, then just push the lens out and it is very easy to keep the subject in the frame (much easier that with the twist bit). This example R7, 800mm, f/10, ISO 5000, 1/1000s. Scaled to fit the site.
