This was taken in Doi Ithanon, Thailand maybe at around 5000-6000 feet elevation. It was raining. Its a good thing my rig was small it fit inside my jacket! This bird is similar to our Elegant Tit but has a very different hairstyle, this bird has the Elvis look. Its cool to see a bird that looks so similar and yet so different from the Tit we are familiar with here in the Philippines. But like the Elegant Tit they were noisy and were always jumping around. I was with a group of Thai bird photographers when I took this picture. They had all their big cameras, blinds, raingear, and were on a long trip from Bangkok to take a specific rare bird. The Thai guys were super helpful, giving tips and ID information. Yellow-cheeked TitCanon 5Dmk2, 100-400, 1/320, f 6.3, ISO1600, handheld Canon 5Dmk2, 100-400, 1/160, f 6.3, ISO2000, handheld

Excellent shot, Tonji, given the conditions they were taken.
