[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This tiny guy (13cm) more than makes up for his size with his call, he chirps incessantly and louder than anyone around! He was quite bold though, kind of in the same way that little barking dogs will at like nothing in the world can make them back down, until you get too close!

Set up my tripod about 6m away then got to about 5m then down to about 4m before the water got too deep! 70-200mm + 2xTC

Hi Chris

Cute shot. Lovely catchlight in the eye and good timing getting the beak open as it sings. Image is a bit grainy and not as sharp as it could be, but it is a great capture all the same. Well done. Thanks.
