Portrait of a Tauhou (Silver-eye or Waxeye)
Photo by Robert Sanson
The New Zealand Silver-eye, also known as Waxeye or Tauhou in Māori, is a small bird found throughout New Zealand, and often seen in urban gardens. They often move about in small flocks, especially during winter. They feed on insects as well as fruit, and tend to be almost always on the move, so photographing them can be a challenge!
This photo was taken with my Olympus e-M1 MkII with the Olympus 150-400 f4.5 PRO lens. Camera settings were ISO 400, f7.1, 1/1000 s

A good photo is not taken, rather it is a gift from the Creator.
