Took these late this afternoon, while making like a twig (insert fat man laugh) and trying to be still, I looked to my left and saw this lil fella watching me.. so i turned the camera around and managed to get a couple of shots before he took off..

No idea what it is... ive got a feeling its a wren.. but i could be wrong.. ive looked through 4 bird books and no id on it

Any ideas?

Tim

Great shots there Tim, although the bird is a little dark. Could do with a little (more?) fill flash?

These little buggers are very hard to get. They certainly don't sit still for long.

Tim,

I was thinking something more like this:

(let me know if you want me to remove this)

Fill flash would have done a better job, but Shadow/Highlight in PSCS2 does the trick.
