Airconditioned Collared Redstart

:S3:

These cute birds hang around the bar and rooms at Savegre; they are not so easy to capture though, always on the move.
Just managed to get this one as he landed behind me as I was focussed on the hummers nearby.
Certainly different should throw the BG police lol

Nah, who cares about the background...sometimes you have to capture what
you can. The head looks sharp, which is nice. The rest of the bird is a little soft,
but its still a nice image.

Some of us on this bird photography forum do care about the BG...

The bird is lovely and at 1/40sec you did well to get the bird's head sharp and you have a nice HA with gorgeous colors. It's always nice to have a new bird photo for your files but I would prefer a natural setting.

Thanks for posting

was posted with somewhat amusing overtones, hence the title, but it is different:t3. TBH I failed to get one in two weeks of trying, despite them being everywhere; some birds are like that!
