Got this Streaked Spiderhunter sometime ago where it was circling around the garden! Notice some fur lost in the crown! maybe an fight has occurred or during it is feeding!

Oops! Are my WB wrong? I shoot this in Jpeg, possible over saturated in colour!

Good looking bird.
Sure wish it was closer although I think you can still crop in a bit more since this is quite sharp?
Interesting to see you shoot in jpeg.
I only shoot jpeg for really fast actions to preserve the buffer being full so fast...

Looks like you're on your way to be a birder.

As mallardg500 said, cropping would bring attention closer to your intended subjects.

Thanks mallardg500.

Agreed it can be crop further to give them a portrait look would be fantastic! I sometimes use jpeg because the new A77 provide a smart teleconverter (1.4x or 2.0x) which most of the time provide sharper image then raw (sample shown here)-


Therefore keep changing between raw and jpeg and forget to change back

Thanks noordin! need to learn more! still a long way...
