The texture is so good on this that I want to reach out and touch the bird.

Plenty of sunlight and clear skies.Equipment
A Nikon D750 with a Nikon F5.6 200-500mm lens and a monopod .Inspiration
A love of capturing the moment.Editing
I'm not into doing loads of post process but i used lightroom which is enough to deal with any high ISO that you get and the associated noise!!! .Basic adjustments of contrast,Highlights,saturation ,shadows and sharpening.In my camera bag
I normally have my Nikon F4 300 mm, F5.6 200-500 mm(my go to lens) and a Nikon 3.5-5.6 18-200 mm ( for landscapes). A D750 and a D7100 body. A monopod and Rain cape.Feedback
You need to get close enough to your subject to give yourself a chance of a sharp shot .This bird is very small and moves quickly which makes it a challenge to get a good shot .
