We were visited by a grey warbler yesterday, a bird we occasionally hear in our area but don't often see (they have a very nice song). They're constantly on the move so very difficult to photograph. Usually I just stand and watch them but this time I thought I'd get the camera and take my chances. I think this is the best photo I've managed to get of one so far.
http://www.multi.net.nz/grey-warbler-2/ K10D, FA*400mm f/5.6, 1/500th handheld at f/5.6, ISO 400. It's cropped to about 50% of the original area. The AF on the K10D really doesn't seem to work well with long glass, it kept annoying me by always starting to focus closer when it needed to go further away. To make it worse, this lens focuses to 2 metres and doesn't have a limiter. Probably doesn't help that I was shooting under a canopy so the AF didn't have much in the way of contrast.
