Noisy Pitta not quite flash enough

Edged closer to lining up sharp shots of Noisy Pitta (Pitta versicolor) in small patch of rainforest near Ingham today.


But sunlight falling on patches of the leaf litter and the risk of scaring the bird caught me in two minds about using flash. I'm dim enough in just one mind, so results not so flash. Hope to do better soon in same spot.
