Look, all gone!
It's amazing when you revisit files what you miss first time round.

Just getting some stuff out the door when I came across this little fellow. Cropped about 40% and yes, a bit more DOF wouldn't have gone a miss to get the beak all in focus, but you live and learn. A little 'fill-in-flash' would have helped, but they are not permitted on the Galápagos islands.

as you say Steve a little more DOF, but nicely captured nonetheless.
