Some Moth pictures and a Birdie. All Moth pics taken with e520 + Sigma 105mm Macro and the bird (Sparrow) with e620 and 70 - 300















 
Some shots of a Fantail (Piwakawaka), native to New Zealand:









Taken with E-510 and 50-200 SWD, 3 October 2009.

These birds are sparrow sized, and extremely agile. They can flip their tail feathers out and swivel them around like a rudder or use them as an air-brake. If I had a flash at the time I may have been able to get a (non-blurred) shot of it in the air.

(I have quite a few photos of airborne blurry brown smudges taken rather optimistically on other occasions. ;))
 
I have the 620 now but haven't really taken many wildlife shots with it yet...except for the first shot of the raven below. All of these were with the 50-200 and many with the 1.4 EC.
