There's already one photo of this bird in the gallery, and this one I found recently browsing through the recorded memories of the nice meeting. Pretty young chick, and quite unafraid... free to flee, but deciding to remain for a minute longer!

Olympus TG-2 was nearest to hand, so... ;)Inspiration
It's not very often that one can study a beautiful wild bird at a distance so small, so this would be enough inspiration for everybody, wouldn't it?Editing
Nothing bar some slight cropping was done to this photo. Everything technically important was already done by the camera. Which is why I can only recommend it - actually any among the models from this Oly series!In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
Unless your camera is right there, near to you and ready to be grabbed, no advice would be worth a thing. So, simply live near your camera... Things will happen fast... and you don't want to miss it when it happens. :)))
