20111011 - 1 089 Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow.jpg

Constance Bay

Another lifer for me. This is a very rare bird for our region. It is also difficult to get a good photo of as it usually perches very low in the reeds. I was happy to get this shot even though it is a significant crop.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/1250s f/6.3 at 420.0mm iso500 full exif
