CommentI was drawn to this bird in a casuarina grove by the actions of two or three Grey Fantails who were not amused with its presence. Brown colouration and mottled breast both indicative of juvenile. Benefits of image stabilisation are very evident noting the slow shutterspeed at approx 600mm full-frame equivalent.
EquipmentCanon 80d; Canon EF 100-400 L Mk II zoom. 400mm, ISO800, 1/125s, f/6.3, Av mode with +1EV.
