Thank you, Db, it\'s more a premature dementia factor than anything else.
Here\'s a Red winged blackbird from today as well, done with 1DMkIIN + 800L.
Incidentally, when shooting any species of black birds, I try to do it in as dark an environment as possible. That way the overal frame exposure is more even and pleasing.
(Cattails are not only ugly, but they are of very light colour in spring which creates a difficult contrast relative to Red wings....that\'s something I try to avoid.)
