Love this friendly bird on low cherry trees as it makes handholding my Pentax M 200f4 (300+gm)very comfortable.
F8, 1/500, ISO 200
This one was staring at me, F8, 1/500, ISO 160

I shoot raw and spot metering. Very little processing except a little tone curve and contrast set to zero in CS5. 5N spot metering is good for small subjects like birds as it totally disregard the other surrounding. Since I was using a 200f4 lens set to f8, I used shutter priority 1/500 and auto ISO. Some of the same set of photos showed ISO 160 but when the subject is black, the ISO can go up to 3200. I wish the auto ISO can be controlled. It was also a very bright day.

I keep seeing people commenting on how bad the kit lens (18-55mm) is. My own copy of lens however did not fail me on my road trip, surviving bumpy and extreme temperature changes. I find its sharpness and and distortion acceptable (not pixel peeping!) and colors are very pleasing! All images are shot JPEG and have no PP done! All straight from camera! Seems like this combination (5N + 18-55) is going to be a citizen soon in my cabinet!
Looks very similar to a red-whiskered bulbul. But no red whiskers, so I might be totally off.
Edit: It's a sooty-headed bulbul

Have you tried the SEL 50mm F3.5 Macro ? That's the only native E mount macro now.
Alternatively, you can check out this monster :

How did you manage to get so close to it?
Even getting close with a 200mm lens (i guess) is not easy.

She was on a very low cherry tree, barely 3 metres away from me. I love to sit comfortably below these trees and wait and I was wearing a dull green t-shirt. My 200f4 can MFD to less than 2 metres. The photo is also about a 28% crop.
