Plumbeous Redstart - Rhyacornis fuliginosa - 红尾水鸲

            My photography style is mostly "run and gun" - walking along fairly quickly until a subject appears, closing in, acquiring images and then moving on to the next target. I think this is because I started as a birdwatcher and am used to finding birds and then seeking more. I do all right with this technique but I think if you want to get really good photos it works better if you plan things out carefully and spend more time with the subject.

In this case the Redstart was quite territorial, flycatching on a river and always returning to the same two or three rocks. I sat down and spent maybe half an hour (a long time for me) quietly taking pictures.
