Excellent sharpness. I think you're referring to the noise that shutter makes and yes, it appears that the bushchat was curious as to what is producing that sound. Perhaps it thought it was an insect. ;D

i know little about composition and am learning a lot from this forum. and even from this thread! Gabs, you are sooo right. I learned a lot from this thread. Now my 18th century mind has been enlightened. My zen experience is rising...like a phoenix from the fire or a whiskered tern from the water.

This bird was first discovered by Plain Idol. It remained hidden for a while then eventually showed up again and we were all ready to take shots at it. At first we didn't know what kind of sunbird it was, but Chaperone Neon concluded it was a young Purple-throated based on the red wings and sides. My take from a different angle.

Wow! First, to Mastah Romy for being the luckiest bird photographer on earth. Imagine, it is the rare bird that comes to him!
Secondly, to Tonji, Sylvia and Tina - big congrats on getting this rarity. You guys are also lucky that it was still there when you came.
Excellent photos, everyone!

Mark and I were resting under the shade of a tree when all of a sudden three Golden-belllied Flyeaters came and started foraging among the branches. Talk about serendipity Canon 5D MkII, 500mm + 1.4X, ISO-2500, f9, 1/640, tripod, subject distance=5.4m
