Eastern Yellow Robin
Hi there,
I went out this afternoon looking for more birds. I wasn't prepared for this one (I was chasing a bird I had never seen before) but he landed reasonably close to me. This is a 4 megapixel crop... I wish I had a 1.4x or 1.7x TC (I thought getting the 500 would stop me saying that  ).
Maybe I should have used a larger F stop (maybe f4) to blur the background more? ISO800, F6.3, 1/320, SB800 (not sure that it fired properlly as the batteries died) 
Comments and suggestions welcome. Paul http://www.australiandigitalphotography.com

Hey - nice shot.
 I personally think that the background is sufficiently blurred. I know you've mentioned the crop, but I would be inclined to crop a little more from the top of the image so that the main focus of the pic (the bird! ) takes up more of the total space.
Hope that makes sense! 
Personally I find with the perch being fairly hot it distracts from the bird. Did you hang around to see if the EYR returned? They're usually fairly inquisitive.

Yeah I was there for around an hour kipper.... I only saw him once. The birds at Moorooduc Quarry don't seem to stay in one place for long. I'll try some shadow/highlights treatment on it.

Didn't even get as far as the quarry
This was off to the side of one of the paths near the carpark at the station. I'm not sure that I've actually found the quarry yet... Either it's not what I was expecting or I'm looking in the wrong place... Where is the section that you'd call the quarry? (That sounds kinds stupid huh?)

Well you go up two bays rd until you come to the carpark area on the right.
You park, cross over the road and pass through those awkward wooden things that they put their to piss off walkers. Then you walk and walk until you find the quary. Shouldn't be too hard as there is only two paths and they both go around the quary one clockwise, the other counter Darryl (aka Kipper)
