The smaller the bird, the more challenges are presented to the photographer. Longer lenses and quick wits are needed, as these tiny subjects are usually more active and less likely to wait around for you to get your focus and framing right. Small birds are defined for this contest as those with a wingspan of around 30cm or less, so no starlings, blackbirds, doves etc.
