Look into my eyes!
My closest Hawfinch shot to date, uncropped.
They do have the most amazing lilac/pink eyes, especially when catching the light at an angle, almost like a piece of amethyst.
Nearly overlooked this chap because he was so close, but had to carefully and extremely slowly move my lens round 90 degrees, thankfully he wasn't spooked. The silent shutter mode on the 5DSr is very good too, wouldn't like to try the same thing with a 1DX!
Taken in Norfolk on Sunday morning.
