Photo taken during lunch on the patio of a restaurant adjacent to Green Lake in Kunming in Nov. 2007. I was with colleagues from the Kunming Institute of Zoology and they were a little surprised when I suddenly reached for my camera bag, pulled out the D80 with 300mm f/4 and 1.7x teleconverter and moved to the rail along the patio. When first spotted, the bird was at a distance, but, amazingly, it kept moving closer and closer until I was able to get some good shots.
