 Little Bronze-Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx minutillus) Today on the Townsville Towncommon followed a Brush Cuckoo into the bushes and came out with this, maybe my best of a LBC yet. Never did find the BC. 40D, 100-400 @ 400, 1/250, f8, manual, iso 400, 430ex @ -2/3. cropped and level adjustment. Attachment:

Re: Little Bronze-Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx minutillus) Nice one, Ed! Great use of flask work and some excellent detail. I have been meaning to visit the Towncommon for a while as my cousin lives very close in Pallarenda, but have never gotten the time

Re: Little Bronze-Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx minutillus) Great capture, Ed !! Exposure spot on and fill in also. Would be tempted to remove heavy limb in tail area and that would really lift the already great image.
Best regards
