Miss Yellow-Rumped

[Jeff]

Sometimes a hunch can turn up fine surprises. On this day by my favourite hunting ground, Miss Yellow-Rumped Flycatcher decided to pose for the camera. My only complaint was it tends to pose very very near such that focusing has become a problem.

Except for #1, all taken under available light since this poor feather jumps when flashed.

D300+500+1.4x wide @F5.6, ISO 800-1250, shutter 1/50 to 1/125s. Fired on tripod foot above ground.

Yape confirm jump when flash ...and always very high ...good eye level you have there:thumbsup:

Looks like they have gotten to know the limitation of lens and are trying to annoy us so they can have some peace.:think:

Either too far or suddenly too dam near.:bsmilie:

Enjoyed these shots alot.

Thank you.

nice set on YRF. :thumbsup:

thx. from my observation it is possible to hit this feather at the right spot if you spend a little time observing its favorite perch, even if it means having to sit on your butt for 2hours at a go for that shot

Nice eye level shots. Still no signs of the Mr Yellow Rump?
