Eastern Spinebill up very close

Today I got to within about 6 metres of one of the rare little honeyeaters in our garden.

I used a lower ISO 320,F 5,6 speed set at 1250 for the first 3 pics,although the data shows 1328.the last one all the same except speed was set to 1600,datc shows 1580.

I was using the 50d and 400 mm L prime lens.the first pic is a basic crop of third pic,all other pics no PP or cropping, just size reduction to upload,I like last pic,most,but was quite happy with all.

getting use to 50d for birding,when it spits out images like these,the biggest thing I like is the increments the ISO comes in just getting that iso down to 320,rather than my usual 400 makes a bit less noise.

Hope these pics are of interest,thanks for looking
