Some of my photographer friends call me the King of Ca-Ca because of my humerous shots of birds doing their thing.

Here is my latest such photo - I've a reputation to maintain!

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens with 1.4 Extender II on monopod @ 1/1000, f6.3, ISO 400, +1 exposure compensation.

Although I had my preferred 5D Mark III with me, I used the 7D for that extra 1.6 crop factor to zoom closer to the perched bird. The disadvantage is the increased background noise as compared to the superb 5D, but I used the despecking filter in Photoshop to reduce it.

Cropped a bit for composition purposes and a few annoying branches were cloned away.

Cheers,

Mike
