      I'm sure I could have gotten a better shot if I'd had time to check my settings, but he was there and gone in no time at all.

    Great picture! I wonder what he was thinking.
    The background is really interesting, too. I wonder what settings you used to achieve this slightly blurred look, emphasising the bird.

    Thanks Rossi. It's the f-stop that gives you the blurry background (or bokeh - pronounced bok-ee) I wrote this post to try to explain it for us non-photographers http://purfylle.blogspot.com/2014/12/where-to-start-with-dslr-camera.html
    scrolls down to the bits on f-stop and aperture value

    Fabulous capture! I love that you can also see that it's carrying something in its mouth - perhaps getting ready for nest building? Is it a Hooded Crow?

      I think he came looking for some snacks of the 8 legged variety in our patio. He is a butcher bird.

      It helps when they hang out in your patio long enough to take a shot :o)

      They are certainly challenging! A faster shutter speed and a bit of luck helps.

    The details on this capture is amazing! You can still see something that's on his beak - dinner, perhaps?!

      Yes, I think there is a bit of a snack there, but he does have a hooked beak which is mostly what can be seen.
