After much provarication and procrastination I finally dealt to the weed patch directly outside my study. Having done so, and suitably exhausted by my efforts, I was sitting admiring my handiwork through my slightly grubby double-glaze window and venetian blinds when birds started foraging in the recently-disturbed soil.
Grabbing the first camera to hand - in this case the Canon EOS 5DsR, with the EF 70-200L f/4MkII lens on board, I carefully parted the blind to shoot and got this hand-held: (much reduced):
This is essentially SooC but reduced dramatically to fit the dreaded 5MB file limit!
200mm, f/5, 1/200sec, ISO-800
I was pleasantly surprised to see how a bit of PP brought the details out and improved the colour rendition significantly. The 5DsR is a BEAST!

Nice shot! Bird looks like it is posing for you.

It would have been a tad easier if it had decided to pose without the vegetation in the way. Shooting single-point autofocus is my go-to method for NZ birds, and you can probably see why!
