I spotted a new visitor (Mniotilta varia) this morning, not often seen here. I believe it's a male..
F/8, 1/640th, ISO 500, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x and natural light around 9:00am. Breezy conditions with high clouds.

Really nice shot Howard, I like the color contrast between perch+background and the b+w subject, very pleasing.

Good looking bird, Howard. Well positioned on a natural perch. Good as is.

Black and white Zebra this one. I would love to see what you folks have, amazing little one and be great to get a few shots of this Howard. Excellent sharpness and perch, the background really suits this, nicely done.

All the best Howard and the second shot is darn fine as well.

Danny.
