Graceful prinia is smaller than a sparrow. Sings beautifully.

Thanks for reminding me I have lots of shots from Israel's Negev from last month. A Graceful Prinia was about the only bird I go close to, and with 1000mm on the R5.

That's a very nice picture, Alan. 1000mm... Excellent result.

The RF 100-500mm with the 2xTC is really powerful. Here's just a crop of the head.

Amazing details in the plumage and the eye.

Presumably the last series of an egret for this spring. They left to breed somewhere else.
And the water was smooth as a mirror.

But it's there and you saw it.
Was it the bird you've been watching for some time or a different one?
