Late in the day, I saw a pair of Chipping Sparrows using our large bird bath, and given that the sun was behind them, I thought it would make an interesting photo.

We all want a quiet shutter for birds & wildlife, yet ironically, it was the loud click of the D850 shutter that made them jump each time I snapped an image that resulted in this explosion of water droplets.

I like it...very cool capture....but it must be slow birding in the Victoria area these days if we've resorted to bird bath photography...

I guess shutter sound has its benefits Colin...very nice effect and well seen and photographed.
