Superb Fairy Wren (Blue Wren) I'd just shot about 20 or so shots of a honey eater on a bush at 2 mtrs away. He didn't seem to mind me being there at all and went through a range of poses for me to shoot Just as I was thinking wow It doesn't get much better than that, a Blue wren flew in and landed on the same bush, even closer, just on min focus distance

It can be a great lens, make sure you fine tune the auto focus, it can make a big difference, thanks & cheers.

Thank you PJ1, I positioned myself to get the background with the honeyeater, but the Wren did it all by himself, cheers

Very nice - it's great when such a small bird is close to full frame in the viewfinder!

The color of the Blue Wren is amazing and couldn't ask for a nicer BG for the Honey Eater shot. Two terrific images.
