Rudy Kalele, Ant Vs Bird (ENTRIES CLOSED - BIG AND SMALL)

A small ant seen scaring a bigger Eastern Spinebill at Mt Stromlo, Canberra on 11th Jan 2026. Image captured on a Canon R5 MkII, f/6.3, at a fast shutter of 1/1000sec and high ISO of 5000 to overcome low light. Shot hand held, from a long distance so as to not disturb the pair, using a Canon 100 -500 mm lens at 400mm in RAW. Cropped and processed using Lightroom Classic.
