I was on a friend's property when I heard the sweet little call of this species. I used my mp3 player's calls to entice the bird into camera range. (Honesty is a good policy, whether you like call playback or not). It's a full frame shot at 700mm, handholding my big gun....
Wonderful shot Windhover. I think its time I got a mp3 player.
Good shot mate of a top little bird, as for the MP3 player.....Love ya work mate :)
Great result considering you were HH that huge lens. One species that I have yet to photograph. Nice work, Akos.

Fantastic shot Akos, looks as if it was just about to fly off? I had some in my garden this year, but didn't get any good photos, they were too fast for me. Love your photo.

Wonderful shot of a pretty little bird Akos...... and I am sure your MP3 does a better job than my kissing noises to entice the birds :)
Lovely to see this

Good shot Windhover, they can be difficult to get sitting still.
I think it was good strategy you used to get such a fantastic picture. Well done.
