Absolutely. The light wasn't especially bright at that time, aside from the fact that the bird was in quite deep shade (it's winter here as well).

Wow, thanks Todd! I'm glad that he stayed while I slowly walked to the right angle.

And excellent work done by that camera -- at 8000 ISO !
Thank you so much! It's great not to have to worry so much about ISO.
