Illiger's Macaw

Oakfield aviaries, Chester. 26/1/08
Just the pair in that aviary (next to the vasa parrots). I'm not that good a photographer, but I have a nice camera and a working knowledge of Photoshop :)

So you're not that good a photographer, I don't believe it, this is a great shot.
 
Thank you. The hard bit was standing on tip toe to keep the rusty wire at the top of the aviary out of the photograph :-)

That's a handheld shot, for 1/13th of a second? Absolutely brilliant!

My hands aren't that steady ;). I use a monopod with my 300mm (and 500mm) and in this case I was bracing the lens hood against the wiremesh.

My bad. I saw you say you were on tip-toe and just assumed it was hand-held. I guess you're not absolutely brilliant then. Just plain-old brilliant.

LOL! :p
