Being honest, I think a lot of birds look better with some natural habitat in the shot, this one works for me as it is. Just my opinion of course.....:)

I agree, if I had had the 100-400 on though I wouldn't have had to crop as far to get the same result, thus making it sharper - as it was the 70-200 was full out at 200 !

Out with the doogle tonight and took my camera, I was on a Wren hunt !

I could hear them and then there was one flitting around me, I mean close, damed thing, I had the 100-400 on so chance, lol, it was a bit quick anyway !

Then I spotted this........

I think this is maybe why I was getting buzzed by the other one, is this a young Wren, it was tiny and just sat sitting. I didn't want to get any closer as I had twigged about Mum at this point !

It's an adult Wren for sure - too well feathered just yet to be a juvenile. Wrens are a real challenge, so well done. :thumbs:

Wrens are actually our second smallest bird, but only just beaten by the Goldcrest. It's not easy to fill the frame with 'em! :D

That is a rather large crop, OK if its not a young 'un there is an little Wren infestation up there, I will be back again, perhaps not with a yappy terrier and a bright red hoody, lol !
