1D2N, 600mm f4 is x1.4TC, 1/1600s, f8, iso 400.

Had a brilliant morning on Fife coast, seeing a huge variety of birds. Haar was a problem for a lot of the time, but this dunnock obliged for a while when the sun broke through.

Nice dunny shot Ian.
Unusual setting in a way.

Tidy shot, surprised you needed a TC they're quite tame down here.

Nice one Ian - not the easiest of species to get a nice clear shot of!

Lovely, these are such smart, though underated, little birds, this shows it beautifully

Hi Ian,

This is beautiful! I simply love it!

Nice, I like the oof Gorse(?) in the background, adds a nice splash of colour but not overly distracting because it's not behind the bird's head.

Cracking shot Ian. Everything comes together nicely on this. The background graduates really well and accentuates the bird. Really like it.
