This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

A Tawny Frogmouth, sitting on top of an Australian style clothes line, looking right towards the camera.  The conditions are near darkness, but the photo does not show that, as the bird appears will lit due to the long exposure
