Hi here's another of this species also taken on the Algarve.
Cropped in a pseudo pano as I really like to bootle brush on whicj it feeds. Tightish at the top as behind/above the bird is a nasty, all beit blurred balcony.
Canon 7d 100-400 @ 400 iso 800 f5.6 1/320 from tripod in difficult light. +1 exposure compensation.
It does show off the exotic coloration of this diminutive member of the magpies, along with the brilliant coloand form of the bottle brush.
Hi Richard,
I like the bright colors but unfortunately this shot has a few issues.
The chroma noise is quite noticeable on the bird. The angle is also quite steep.

I love everything about this one but for the steep angle of inclination.

I like high-key images, and this one is appealing...but I do see lots of colour noise on the bird which could be tamed in post. I like the branch directly underneath the tail.
