white-throated kingfisher

[Manny Illana]

hi guys, been missing in action for so long here....

allow me to post my first capture after several months of inactivity
was fortunate enough to be guided by tina last saturday in subic
it was a lean day... and this was the only bird which "paraded" itself...
got to get back in the groove.... not so happy with the shots

nikon d200 + reflex nikkor 500/f8

Nice shots of this Subic regular, Manny!

Nice first capture after your long vacation, Manny. Keep it up.

It was so nice to have spent the afternoon with you Manny.

That kingfisher was the only bird i was able to take photos of during that whole afternoon ;D Well, it's better than nothing

Nice to see you back on the horse Manny! Lovely catch! Hope you'll get more opportunities in your hectic sched.

Very nice "comeback" shots, Manny.

It's just like riding a bike - you don't really forget how do it - you just need to get back the "feel".

really hope to do more birding... i really miss it that much!
