Almost a good shot...
if it weren't for the grass/stick in the way causing loss of contrast on half of the bird.
Cute little fellow, sang on and off for a while, hopping between branches and stopping every now and then when he heard the shutter go off.

Despite the grass interference I am happy to see that the Superbs are around
Didn't help that I had a cracker of an headache at the time. Still, the AF locked on despite the interference and tracked him well.
Lovely shot David....great positioning in the frame...Well sometimes you just cant help the external stuff...:-)
I like th title on this one. Great description and nice composition. How long have you had the 1D-IV?

he's a cute little thing, nice shot, just in time when he open his mouth to sing :)
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/1vy] Just a shame about the stick or grass in the way causing loss of contrast.
Great capture regardless Dave. I'm no birder but I do know how tricky these little guys are to nail!
