Thank you!
I'm more knowledgeable about birds than photography... having stayed in Knysna a couple of days I could not help but try to photograph the bird that took its name from the city ...
the photo is pulled with very high iso because the undergrowth was very dark and I did not have the flash with me

Nice Catch !! Unfortunately the high ISO didn't help. However at ISO 6400 I would have expected a lot more noise. If I can give a piece of advice, I would have used much less iso and a longer time, maybe with a 200th you could have used only 1000 or a little more.. and you would have had a shot with less noise.. and freehand with a stationary bird it should not have been moved. (anyway it's better to make too much noise than move.. the noise can be removed, the blur.. no.) You have to practice to figure out what times you can keep without having any shaky. There are many variables. It depends on whether the optics are stabilized. or if it's a telephoto lens (it's not specified in your description of the equipment..) but practice, more than any theory, will solve the uncertainties.. It's still a very good start!

Gion65, thanks for the advice. As I said, I'm not very experienced in photography. The advantage that digital photography offers compared to the traditional one of the past, apart of course from the development, is that you can set the iso automatically while with my old Olympus OM-4, almost always with Ektachrome 64, I dreamed of this photo... (actually, I wouldn't even try to do it...)
Now, serious question (as a layman): do you seriously think that setting the iso to auto and shooting at 1/200 the photo would not have been blurred?
