Good photo Greg Shchepanek. You did well to contain the noise from the high ISO, colour contrast is very good and the bird is sharp and looks beautiful.

Thank you so very much. This was my first time photographing this species of bird so I was very excited to see a flock of them at the Ramsar Site

The yellow birds are really popping in front of the grey and colorless background! Great! But 1/800s with ISO1600 seems to be a bit too high. Try 1/250s at ISO400. Greg Shchepanek

Thank you very much Jörg always love your advice and wisdom ... I find the birds most difficult to shoot.
