Orange-flanked Bush Robin

This one was taken a second or two before the first post. The background went a little funny in places after noise reduction. A couple of oof twigs removed from above the bird.

ISO 800 f6.3 1/25

cheers

Another great shot of this little guy, the oof vegetation is a little distracting but certainly not an image killer. Great job at 1/25 :toast:

Both shots are very nice but I prefer the first post because the perch looks much more attractive. The colors and the pose are really nice in both shots.
