[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There I was, lying flat on the ground trying to get the best capture from the Iberian Rock Lizard (picure I posted yesterday). All of a sudden this this Rufous tailed Rock thrush (Monticola saxatilis) popped up only 10 meters beside me. The macro lens would not be sufficient to get it well on the picture. So I had to switch lenses which was in my backpack. It took ages before I got it done. Just the moment I was to push the shutter button it hopped 50 cm further on a lower rock. Now I only have the head left (in the left corner it the rock in front it sat on the moment before).
Hope you like it anyway...

Un bello primer plano Jacob con gran detalle por la nitidez alcanzada y un colorido muy natural.
Excelente POV que permite aprovechar un fondo limpio y claro que enfatiza más al ave.
Buena elección del encuadre.
Saludos... Ricardo

Beautiful close up Jacob with great detail for the clarity reached and a very natural coloring.
Excellent POV that allows to take advantage of a clean and clear bottom that it emphasizes the bird more.
Good election of the framing.
Greetings... Ricardo

Hello Jacob,
This is a wonderful shot. Lucky that it stayed while you changed lenses! I know the feeling! This rock thrush is still missing in my collection.
TFS, regards, Ivan
