OK - I like the photo!
Could you please, tell us the story behind this shot before we start selling our much longer, heavier and expensive AF lenses
?!I got so excited from the post of the grilled_rooster...
Here are photos of a very common and easy to shoot bird (may be the easiest here, so easy that I never tried before to take a decent shots...). Actually if you are taking a fast lunch and seat on a bench and start opening your box some of these may come so close you even don't need a 150mm to take a nice portrait!
Anyway - when I notice the bird in front of the lanai this morning - with that light and when it was calling (looking so fluffy!) I took the shots. Probably my best shots of the Zebra Dove so far?

Hehe... i was at a wild life park. This guy was sitting in his aviary. And this aviary was placed in the ruin of an old castle. so the side i was standing had wide bars like a prison cell. And oc course i cropped this image ;-) Here's the full resolution picture.OK - I like the photo!

A few more shots made with the IRIX 150mm Macro (manual focus). Of course, i had to crop them a little bit (some more, some fewer). At this air show I had of course many blurred photos. But nevertheless also some sharp ones.
This tiny Päpaka (mud crab) looks to be escaping from the Poaka (Pied Stilt) only to fall in the fire

Male downy woodpecker resting on the branch of a large lilac bush just outside our den window yesterday morning.
A pair of Variegated Fairy-wrens enjoying the morning sunlight earlier this week.
Hopefully the photo insert works
