Very nice color and details! I wish they find a more elegant way of tagging them, though...

Thank you for your comment. I agree with you about the tags. The first time I saw them they looked like a NY City Yellow Cab to me. However the volunteer group caring for this re-introduction (there are about 1000 swans now in Ontario) relies on general public sightings to know where these swans are. Last year one was hit by a car in PA and was nursed back to health and then flew to Northern Ontario where it was sighted in New Liskeard. A volunteer traveled up to make sure the swan was OK. They also have leg bands (left leg for females and right leg for males).Very nice color and details! I wish they find a more elegant way of tagging them, though...

Exemplary IO_Bg. Environmental Birdie, Wildlife photography my favourite. This Robin is one of the superlative environmental Robin photographs I have observed on dpr.Tamron Adaptall 2 135mm f/2.5 wide open

Thanks! The robin was actually quite still and I could take a few frames. The Tamron is a bit soft wide open so IQ wasn't exceptional. I could've stopped down but then would've lost the shallow DOF effect.Exemplary IO_Bg. Environmental Birdie, Wildlife photography my favourite.

Well worth trekking to the forest to capture. Tilt screen X-T10 demonstrated it's usefulness. Focusing accurately manually on tiny Robin no easy task.
You are very welcome ! Dreamy from shallow dof like Narnia : right choice. In such cases sharpness takes a back seat.Thanks! The robin was actually quite still and I could take a few frames.
