A Female Pied Flycatcher, have only ever had a glimpse of a pied flycatcher so was pleased to get a few images over the weekend although light in the woods was very challenging at times.

Canon 1DMK4, Canon 500f4L + 1.4 convertor, ISO 400, f8, 1/160

Great Karen.

How do you get this so sharp at 1/160th ? Incredible. A great perch as well.

Cheers

Austin
