Inspired by Mark's amazing capture of this tiny bird, I'm reviving the FBPOTW section starting this week.

Mark's photo shows that one doesn't need the costliest gear to come out with spectacular results..... big congrats, Mark!

Happy Birthday Cisticola indeed!! Congrats on this capture Mark!! They say before, you need to have at least a 400mm to go bird photography. Now, all you need is a good camouflage outfit and a hunters stalking skills, any focal length will do!! ;D
