Photo-a-day retirement

Dark photo of a dark fantail in a dark place

With lots of noise! Had to turn the ISO up to 1600 which is hopeless with my camera, but with a dark bird in a dark place what else was there to do?

Never taken a black fantail before so couldn't resist, though I took other much better quality shots today.

Some info: Black fantails are mainly black, with black-brown over the rump, belly and flight feathers, and occasionally have a white spot over each ear. Juvenile black fantails tend to be more dark brown than black. Black fantails are rare in the North Island, and make up less than 5% of individuals across the South Island.
