Finally had the chance to visit Balanga, Bataan last weekend and had a wonderful time taking photos of the birds in that area. Wasn't really expecting anything except for the terns that are normally there but we were pretty lucky because there were a lot of birds in the area. Black-winged stilts talking things out  40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; ISO 500 ; f/9 ; 1/500 ; bean bag A very noisy Bright capped Cisticola 40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; ISO 500 ; f/9 ; 1/500 A little ringed plover puffing itself up  30D + 300mm f/4L IS + 2x TC = 600mm ; ISO 500 ; f/5.6 ; 1/400 ; bean bag "galit-galit muna tayo" chestnut munias 40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; ISO 320 ; f/6.3 ; 1/320 rest of the gallery |

Mark: Thanks a lot Ding: Glad you liked the plover. It was such an adorable bird. Very cooperative. Thanks Ely. Naku Sunday morning is just enough for Subic birding - no time na to go to Balanga since we have to head back home before 12noon. Surprise for me Ely? WOW FINALLY, you have decided to lend me your 800mm lens for a whole month? That would really be fantastic ;D ;D ;D ;D Paolo: Please call me tina nalang ha I was using a bean bag for support or just leaning against the window - really depends on the situation. Balian (Edwin?) and Ed - Thank you very much po
