Willow Warbler
1st time for me seeing the Willow Warbler makes a change from my Garden Birds. Taken at Grafham Water nr Huntingdon

Canon EOS 1D MKIII, Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS + 2.0 Extenders.
* 600 mm
* Exposure 1/640 at f/6.3
* Aperture priority
* ISO 200
* PP Raw file in DPP then cropped, re-sized and smart sharpened (not much) in PS CS3, needed to use reduce noise in BG because of sharpening. This is less the 20% of the original frame.
