This was taken on a sad day. Turned up to where i knew they were and my optical stabliser died in my Sigma. Hard to shoot handheld at 1/320 and iso2000 did not help.

Heathwren looks fine to me. Wish I had one :-)

Got so close about a month ago and the bird jumped just as I was pushing the button.

First good sighting and he was sitting up so nicely.

A lot of processing and had to convert to B&W. Colour looks horrible.

I know what you mean, everytime i saw him on a good perch, aim the camera and he's gone :)
