Tailorbird flick

The Common Tailorbird is one of the super active birds and thus most challenging to shoot.  Coupled with its tiny size of 11-13cm, it can be an elusive subject.  Whenever I managed some shots, I do feel gratified, especially on this occasion when it appeared relatively distant and high up.
The Tailorbird is also one of the birds whose size belies its call.  It's a common resident bird and has the most amazing weaving skill, to which I had the privilege of witnessing when one weaved its nest in my balcony, whose calls also provided me with the most authentic ringtone ever.
