Spring really is a fantastic time for bird photography, with babies abound. As well as the pīpīwharouroa from last week’s post, I enjoyed following this pīwakawaka/pied fantail family around as two harried parents fed their three energetic fledglings. The cheeping and peeping was incessant, the chorus of my day from dawn til dusk, and I could use the sound to locate them wherever they roamed around the garden. They’re definitely a good bird to test your reflexes on. It takes a very high ISO to get decent shutter speeds in a dark bit of bush, even with an f4 lens!
