Superb fairy wren 2
This fellow popped up while I was trying to do a long range shot of big ocean swells from a lookout . He appeared in my side view and stayed for about 10 seconds before flying off down the hill. I managed to snap a couple of pics not thinking too much about it as it wasn’t my priority. Turns out it was the best shot of the day, as the ocean shots were too hazy with sea mist !
Taken with a Sony A7Riv on 6-6-2026
1/1000 sec , ISO 1000, f8 aperture. Lens 534mm (Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS)

Post processing notes:
Cropped and sharpened slightly ( it always seems to improve even the sharpest shots) with denoise, adjusted exposure slightly and some (10% or less) saturation increase using ON1 RAW 2026.4.Exif information:
