Wild A Christmas Gift from Mother Nature…

…my first bird on a stick since a long time!!!

At 207 metres and easily overlooked this tweety tiny thing
was shot with a 600mm on a D850 and cropped severely.

Many thanks to Anneliese (9yo) who asked her mother:
"Mama, what's the blue thing that is moving over there?"
that alarmed me of its presence. By the time I spotted it
through the VF, it had turned around!

Well done Anneliese ... well you too Daniel

Thanks Roger!

I learned that family was visiting parents in the area
but are from Bruck an der Mur… too far to possibly
convey personally your comment!

There are bird on a stick shots and bird on a stick shots, but this is an excellent capture, long distance as well.

You mean, Andrew, that this take belongs
in the first or second category?

Thanks and HNY to all of you!

That really is lovely - well caught. Looks like you've settled down to the 850 now, noise or no noise.

Thank you Sir!

Looks like you've settled down to the 850 now, noise or no noise.

I remember the time I was using the D800E and the
shock I had when, after a click, someone in front of
me (with no eyes behind his head!) said: "Aaah, the
very clinky sound of the D800x"… The fellow had the
D810!

Everyone is quieter than me (I?).
