Flame Robin

These are high altitude breeders in the alpine woodlands. This male and his mate were busy feeding a fledged young so i helped them out with some meal worms for half an hour or so.
There was extremely low cloud/fog hence the high ISO

5D3 500/f4 1.4X
ISO 3200 f8 1/500

cheers
Rob

Very nice, and a good color palette.

It doesn't look very much like a thrush. Another one of the Oz oddities?

Beautiful image Rob. The background is stunning (as is the bird of course!),
