Description
This little guy has been a source of aggrevation for me for quite sometime. Although quite common here in the islands, trying to get a shot of this nervous little bird in decent light has been such a daunting task. Being such a small bird it is quite hard trying to get a shot him in a tree as they love to hide in the shadows. Caught this guy briefly, 2 shots before he was gone, this the best of 2.
