One of the 3 species of this tiny bird (only about 10cm long) here in Australia. They nest in tree hollows and creek banks (which is the background in this shot).
(3/11/12), D800, 300 2.8, 1.7TC, f7.1, 1/500, ISO280, -2/6EV.
Thanks, Greg.

Another australian beauty! Lovely colour combinations on this little one, a nice pose , bright eye, and fine detail.
Very nice BG colour to set the bird off well.
