Okay, I think I have the whole duck, crow, robin, swan and goose thing sorted, but
I have no idea what this is. My continuing avian education…
… and the 100% crop for anyone interested…
Rob, did you do anything to remove noise to the image? It looks very smooth, i.e. no feather detail.
Aidan,
I’m not sure why I lost so much detail, and sharpening hasn’t helped to
bring out any more without creating noise. This was shot at ISO 100, f3.5,
200mm and 1/640 sec. I can only put it down to camera shake and possible
movement of the subject. I’ll have to check some of the other shots I have
and see if they retained any feather detail. I just posted this one because it
was the most pleasing compositionally.Rob.

Don’t even have Noise Ninja! Come to think of it, I took quite a few shots while
I was walking along following this little one… Perhaps I should always stop before
pressing that shutter… :oops:Rob.
200mm at f/3.5?
on a 2.8 lens?
That’s a nice piece of glass you’ve got there Rob,
is it possible that the focus point is a little in front of the speckled songster?Some of the veg in front of it looks quite sharp in the reduction-
Good comp though, and colour-
and you really must have been up close for such a small bird-
I can see why you’re thinking about a converter,
with that lens it must be quite a temptation-j

It most certainly is Joseph, it certainly is. Thanks for the comments.
Still have to trawl through the rest of the rubbish I shot and see what
I can come up with…Rob.
