Another nice one, Rob. They are so small - and usually so far off - that I have trouble getting a firm ID on them here. I must try harder.

Thank you! I was really lucky that this one was fearless. It hopped up so close to my feet that I couldn't focus on the top of its head!

Thornbills can be a pain to ID, for sure.
PS I might have got more detail with the DFA 150-450 but today I used the lighter lens.

I must agree that this is a truly excellent capture.
