Shot few days ago. I found this wren jumping and running around the pile off dead wood on the forest floor. I had to wait for a while for the wren to pop out the pile in the open. I only had a split second since this little guy was very active and constantly moving.
There was a very little light so I had to crank up ISO 2000.

1D4, SIGMA EX DG HSM 500mm f/4.5
1/160, ISO-2000, f/6.3, tripod used.

Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.

I love wrens but they can be difficult subjects. I love that you include some habitat......gives me a sense of where he lives. Nice job getting him up and in view.....and getting the shot with the short time you had.

Nicely done to get such a good view of this busy little bird in the low light, Ludo!

Yeah, these guys are really tough - small and fast. Bird looks pretty good considering how little light you had.

These wrens are difficult to shoot, and you have done a very good job here, Ludo. Great natural perch, lovely background, and nice detail. A little head turn towards the camera would have been nice, but overall a very good photograph.
