Thanks a lot Rey and Mark Haaaay my only frustration is that those rufous coucals are such shy and magulo birds. Always hiding na nga tapos so malikot pa. When oh whennnnn will I ever get good shots of those pakipot na birds ;D ;D ;D

Very nice, Plain Idol..... you're really a bird magnet, I've seen very few birds at Subic in my last several trips. Love the clear view of the racquet tail!
