Female Tomtit / Piropiro

Went for a walk doing the Mistletoe track and part of the Edge Track near Cragieburn with high expectations of capture swaths of Rifleman, Robin and Tomtit. I did see several Rifleman but as they kept well within the shrubbery, no shots Didn't see any Robin either. Maybe the warm weather and/or time of day kept them away. One of the couple of Tomtits I did see was happy to hang around for a little bit. I believe this is a juvenile female. Being in the bush and using my 100-600mm lens I had to let the ISO go way up to 51k @ f/6.3 and 1/640 sec.
