Red-Brow Finch in the Lantana.
These delightful small birds are approx three inches long,vivid red brow and tail rump,they are hard to get close to,and move all the time.
I went for a walk to the far end of neighbours cattle property to set trail cams,but took time out to try and get some images of these birds.
Using a Canon 50D and 400 mm L prime lens,in AV mode,F 7.1,speed went to 250,iso 640,I used AV mode as lots of shade areas,and clouds coming and going.I got to within five metres to take this image (camera says 4.2 m)
This first frame is frame size from camera,second is a crop,a quick play in CS5,really not keen to spend too much time in PP,as I'd like an image with less clutter,but somehow the blurred lantana is part of this bird as that's where they hang out.
Hope this is of interest,thanks for looking-Chris
