Merops Apiaster.
Picture taken from a hideout, using Sony a6700 and the Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG DN OS. Even though it is APSC and 6.3 thanks to being close to the bird even though zooming all the way to 600mm, this allows me to get the background obliterated. This particular picture is at 12800 ISO

Cropping would help!
Would also take away from the quality of the image too. The shot was already noisy at 12800. Remember, it is APSC sensor, although it is a good one.
I like the crop and the fact it’s not centered. People can get carried away with cropping these days.
Thank you. Thankfully, the composition is straight out of the camera 😁
love these birds, so colourful, damn difficult to get close to in the wilderness
Yes, they are very beautiful. Its easy to find their colony and have a few shots as well.
