One of latest photos taken with my Sigma APO DG EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 lens. Shrike was sitting relatively far from me on a branch. I have got a decent sharpness however. Flickr version: Canon 6D, Sigma APO DG EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 , at 300mm, ISO160, 1/640, ƒ/5.6
What you call a chiffchaff is not one. Chiffchaff and other Phylloscopus never have such prominent black stripes, they are all mostly uniform olive-yellow-grayish. This one is Sedge Warbler (Камышевка-барсучок).
ReplyDeleteFor the one you call Juvenile Spotted Flycatcher it does not look like one for me too. I am not sure Spotted Flycatcher has such long pointed yellow bill. For me it looks more like some Phylloscopus warbler though I cannot tell exactly.
