On the way down the No. 1 Line track late this afternoon, this little female miromiro (North Island tomtit) flitted around, apparently giving me the once over. Of course, I had the macro lens on the camera — the 100-300 was safely tucked away in the pack. Consequently, this photograph is heavily cropped.

She has a worried air about her.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience the little birds make greased lightening seem slow (and predictable). Love this capture of, as Zhoen says, a worried little bird.
ReplyDeleteZhoen, they always look like that. I hope that doesn't mean they're always worried ;^)
ReplyDeleteEC, perhaps surprisingly, these are one of the easier small birds to photograph. They're curious (or at least act as if they are), and they'll tend to sit on a branch for a few seconds, just looking. Riroriro, on the other hand, never stay still for more than a split second.
