Hand held, large crop, this little guy seemed to be having a singing contest with a blackcap, they exchanged bush tops and recommenced singing several times. Unfortunately I was not able to get an unobstructed view and they were about 15+ meters distant.

Love the calling pose, BG and perch in general. Also love the crop even though I might take some off the top for better balance between the bird and those delicate flowers LLC. The perch's leafy part running through the bird and shadow not withstanding, I am amazed you get such IQ from a large crop on that small sensor. That camera looks special getting all this with small light lenses with 2x magnification. Keep them coming... TFS
