Needed six shots to get this one, and took him half an hour to allow me 
to get that close - less than two meters.
We didn't meet in a garden, but on the western side of Punta Ballena, a 
big rocky hill which goes into the sea, during the afternoon. The 
highlight at the upper-left is sunlight reflected from the water surface 
of Playa Portezuelo.

Wish the OM 2n could reach 1/2000 or 1/4000, so as the bird could have 
had less motion blur.
I don't like to crop images, so if you don't like the OOF foreground 
please tell me so: I'm trying to figure out how many photographs do or 
don't feel an OOF foreground too distracting - ;)

Any other PS hint is welcome !
