Very sweet shots and bird. They are a bit similar in size, looks and behaviour to our Eastern Crowned and Arctic Warblers. Tiny, though the warblers are confiding.
Yesterday I had an Eastern foraging around at my feet not 3 feet away ... whilst the 500mm was pointing away into the distance (I also had a cuckoo land 6 yds in front of me - whilst the camera was on a monopod slung over my shoulder - drat) !

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Very good aiming practice as they don't sit still for long.
