Here are some perching birds I took this past week.

Alabang, Muntinlupa

Taken in one of the parks around our village.
Brown Shrike

50D, 500mm, ISO200, 1/160, f5.6, tripod

Tarlac Eco Park, Tarlac

A female perching on a pretty vine.

Pied Bushchat

50D, 500mm, ISO 200, 1/200, f4, tripod

Mt. Makiling, Laguna
I had a great birding day but an difficult photography day. It was dark and the birds were hiding. I saw a Rufous Paradise Flycatcher and a White-browed Shama so close to me but I was unable to get good pics. Still this Sulphur-billed is a photo lifer for me. Maybe the Mountain will let me take better pictures in the future.

Sulphur-billed Nuthatch

50D, 500mm, ISO 800, 1/100, f4, tripod

UP Diliman

The new celebrity birds of UP. It was fun taking pics with Neon, Ely, Martin, Doc Mando, Tina and Sylvia. These birds did not even give us a second thought.

Java Sparrow

50D, 500mm + 1.4x tc, ISO 160, 1/160, f6.3, tripod

Sorry about some of the giant pics. Smugmug and our forum don't seem to be working well. I had to use flickr on some of the pics and they came out a bit big.

It looks like an Ube bird. Well done Tonji. Mabuhay.
