Ruffy Drumming...

I've been listening this little guy for the past week, so yesterday I thought I'd have a go at him.

Unfortunately there was some obstructions preventing a totally clear shot at him but that's ok as I'm planning yet another session with him! grin

Thank you all for your kind comments! As previously mentioned, I had been listening to this guy in his attempts to attract a female for about a week. With a little careful searching (and a little stealth) I managed to locate one of his "drumming logs". I quietly set up in a position that agve me a decent angel of view of the birds location. With camera set up on my tripod and with me securely tucked out of sight underneath a small but effective camouflage cover, I sat as motionless as posible until he returned. The results of that first encounter is what I posted here.

Now, if its ok with you all, I'd like to make a second post (same subject) but this time the results were somewhat different as I very, very carefully cut a clear lane to the drumming log in order that I could then captured the action without the hansome little guy being blocked out...
