We were treated by a Mom with 3 very little youngsters this past weekend at Marievale bird sanctuary. The little ones are quite fast and mobile, giving my camera and lens's AF a run for their money as there where not much contrast between them and the surroundings. This little one ventured into the open in some nice early light and gave me a very nice pose. The first time I came close enough to actually photograph them large enough in view not to need a magnifying glass to find them on the screen! I enjoyed it a lot; hope you do too.
