Blackcap

This fellow was singing his heart out in a tree high above me. My first Blackcap and first shot taken with Canon 500mm f/4 hand held.

Congrats on the Blackcap Gordon and the new lens.
They are lovely birds to listen to also I reckon.

Thanks Ken, it was a grab shot as the camera was in the bag as I was just setting up the tripod. Could not do much about the branch.

Thanks John, have had the lens about 12 months, it was the first shot I have taken hand held. Weighs a ton on the 1D IV.

Cheers Rich, the way he was singing he certainly was trying to attract the ladies.
