Prospect Park, Reading UK
These were all of the same bird over a period of about four minutes, hopping and flapping around like a mad thing.
All undercover on not the brightest of days, resulting in 1/800s at ISO12800, so these thumbnails are really about as good as the “full” (heavily cropped) photos.
What a cute little thing, and pretty markings. Fun way of capturing how active it was. Looks like it’d be hard to get a good shot of such a tiny critter bouncing around in all those leaves.
Oh, if I’d had a good single shot I’d have posted it - I have been blessed by such in previous years, so I keep clicking and keep hoping.
