Working on warblers when up pops this male blackbird with his prize possession. Very striking! So I grabbed a shot before he quickly departed. Original image was overexposed because the bird was just in the sun (had been shooting warblers in the shade). In post-processing exposure was adjusted a little, but its bill was still burnt out in places.
Equipment
Canon 1Ds Mk III, 800mm f 5.6 IS + extension tube (25).
