Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens

I used the Macro lens for this one as it wasn't a very light place and I was also fairly close. The 100mm macro lens being 2.8 really  helped this image.  Taken on Motuara Island in the Marlborough Sounds, a natural bird sanctuary so the birds roam free without fear of predators.

This is the South Island Robin taking a bath, native and endemic to New Zealand.  They can be quite tame, seem not to fear humans.
