A Sunbird.........

[Grumpy John]

......... not the car, but an olive backed sunbird. This little girl has a nest under the veranda at my friends place in Cairns. she is very nervous and I was unable to get any shots of her out of the nest. I only saw dad a few times and he was not cooperating at all.

F4.0, 1/400, ISO 400. Siggy 24-105 @ 105mm.

Great photo John. Different take on a bird shot to include it's home. I did a selective colour job on it for fun because I have nothing to do just now. Thoughts?

I like it.

Nice job,it`s not easy to get a good shot of their nest usually way out of reach,the birds cool too,quite a beak it`s got there.
