Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the enthusiasm on this forum (and the humour). For interest sake only, here is another severe crop at 100%. To bring this back to on topic, K10d, SMC-P M 400/5.6, focused at 5 meters (as close as it will go), wide open, special filters (double paned patio door), ISO 400, 1/180@f/5.6. Camera set to AF.S, Av, hand held. (I was lucky to get the lens out of the bag and changed before they flew off into the wild blue yonder.
I figured this shot would be even worse for identifying the lovely creature.
I still cannot see the underside. He/she was a few inches below floor level, and I was standing to get a clear view. The snap-in-focus worked perfectly ... on the head of the lawn ornament. I've also included the two originals. Anyone who believes a 400 mm lens is good enough for any bird can think again.
BTW, the one with the bird on the fence EXIF says 11:53:58 am and the other is at 11:53:00. They don't stand still very long at all.
