I thought I was pretty much done doing bird photography since I recently sold my VL 114, but this afternoon I got this chickadee in the back garden with my CL and 90mm Elmarit.

Great picture ! Question: Have you been standing on high position (higher floor, roof, tower etc.) while you were shooting this image ?

I was directly under the bird who was about 20 feet off the ground. My experience with the Kestrels on Hampstead Heath in London is that they really don't care about humans. I wonder if this unique to that environment, or whether in general Kestrels are very confident birds.

Some  months ago i watched a  film about  the  London Kestrels. They love it because of the many pigeons there. And the people love them for chasing pigeons.

It's a Common Kingfisher, the smallest of the five types that inhabit these parts, the others being Rufous, Stork-Billed, Collared, and White-Throated.  All except the Rufous, which I seldom see, are among my favorite birds to photograph.

Stork-Billed Kingfisher below, shot with the SL, Novoflex SL/NIK, Nikon 300pf + 1.4X TC a little over a year ago . . .
