The Robbin and Muddy beak.

Got out for a bit between the rain showers. The Heron let me get pretty close today.

Just for your info

ISO 800
f5.6
1/500 sec
300mm
Hand held

Thought this may help you on your quest. It was a very overcast day and normally I'd be at ISO 200 but I expected him to bolt and I wanted to catch that so I wanted a high shutter speed. As it was he bolted about three feet and I never got any in flights:)
