Not as good as I want but a walk around Lake Burly Griffith with the tamron 70-200 got me this

I wonder wheher you may have caught the focus with the branch to the front of this beautiful bird Don?

I see these in country Victoria, and I know how hard they are to catch sitting still! They are incredibly busy little birds.

Thats more than likely, was hand held and all very quick, hoping to get another go with a longer lens before we head north
C&C welcome.

They're fast little buggers that rarely sit still (except the plain brown females) so you should be happy with that shot.

Yes they really are that blue Gareth, the female is very plain though.
C&C welcome.

Nothing to be surprised at really Gareth, think of Parrots and the like, and what about our very own Kingfisher

EDIT,
PS; not a bad snap for a 200mm lens Don
My Names Alan, and I'm a lensaholic.
