Cardinal

by Davidoff

I'm not in the same league as some of you who do birds, but though that this might be of interest. I believe it's a Cardinal bird, and I took this in Swaziland with my 500mm zoom at extreme range and hand held. That's my excuse anyway.

Nice shot, hand held with a 500mm is always sooo difficult, well done.
