D3 + 500mm f/4 VR, 1/500s ISO 6400 - handheld

I could only see the bird through a small break in the leaves/branches and only managed to take a few shots. I thought it was an exercise in futility but was surprised with what I saw in the camera LCD.

Minor adjustment in black levels done in PP.

Thanks for looking.
