Well caught Iain. I normally just see it's bum disappearing into the distance....before I even get the camera out. 😢

That sounds like a Gary Player sort of statement, when told he had been 'lucky'.  

He replied.... â€œ the harder I practise, the luckier I get”. ;-)

And no depth of field either ...600mm at 3 metres. Didnt have time or the lighting to stop right down. He / She was gone in 10 seconds.

Here's another flick of its head...

According to my depth of field tables.....a Wrens beak is just 10mm long.

AF certainly working well.
3m/10ft is a very short working distance for a 200-600mm.
Very impressive shot.

Are you sure you need that A1?
Sony have just updated the back screen on a lot of their top models e.g. a7r-iv-a,  there is going to be some old stock going cheap!

Don't 'need' another camera at all.
But given the chance, I would welcome evaluating one.

It does reinforce the fact that if you get close enough to the subject you have greater chance of success.
I just wish I had left the camera on f16 .....so when I grabbed it I could have got more of the wren's head in focus. :banghead:
