Common Tailorbird


D700 500mm +1.7 teleconverter ISO400 f/6.7 1/320 flash -1.3EV tripod

Some buzzing sounds came from two different locations within a low dry shrub. First thought was that there were two noisy insects answering each others calls. The sounds were just too loud. After a few minutes of observation, some branches moved, then a tiny bird appeared. It could not stay in place for more than a few seconds. By following it from branches to branches, I managed to capture a few pictures. After reviewing them, I could not find one where the bird had its beak closed...
