Description

Was able to observe this flycatcher undisturbed for about 10 minutes from 10 yards distance. Always returning to this perch . While it was aware of my presence it held its ground and went about its business.

Specific Feedback

I was able to get many shots,I liked this puffed pose better than the slim profiles.

Technical Details

Nikon Z5 Nikkor 200-500 at 460mm hand held f5.6, 1 /1250 sec ISO 1600.

Very nice job on these, Stephen. I love the soft light and matching soft backgrounds. they really suit the subdued plumage of this species. Well done.

Nice poses you caught Steve and the images in the series work well together. Love the background too as it really compliments this bird.

Nice series of images, Stephen, with good detail and a complementary background. Nice to be able to get close to these tiny birds.
