Wow these are amazing shots!! You are blazing the trail for night bird photography, Godo.!!!

I guess it's alright to do this once in a while.

I need to ask this, did the birds reacted to the light/flash? and flew off? If it did, then I would think twice doing this myself.

If so what brand did you use? The pictures are very clear. What are harp traps? Is it to catch bats? Well done Godo. Mabuhay.
