Great shots Tina! Seems everytime someone get there in VE, the IBKF is always a staple. Anybody who never got lucky with this bird in VE?

Great captures Plain Idol Tina!!  Looks like you have developed muscles and can just whisk your rig around   . Always love an IBKF shot, this one is just lovely, beautiful perch and the glancing eye contact, just awesome!! |

I like the IBKF best of all. This is the first time that I have seen it at this angle and it is really a beautiful bird. The picture shows how good a photographer you are. Well done Tina. Mabuhay.

She's ....... BACKKKKK. And with a vengeance too.
I'm in Davao and I'm getting homesick seeing the pictures of my favorite neighbors.
That shot of the Red-keeled Flowerpecker captures me. Is that your lens reflected on his eye?

Great captures, Tina! I like all three, but most the IBKF! Lookslike Villa Escudero is inviting all the others to bird there and capture these birds! I haven't shoot that bird yet, Toto. Wanna try?
Can we be allowed by Mela to bird in VE for a day? The next two weeks might be exciting as new 400mms have just been at hand!

Wow. Great set Ate Idol! Really nice. The RKFP is so nice it means we don't have to go back to Batangas! Plus the IBKF is fantastic. Your lens is really worth its weight. I can't wait for the shots with your new 7D.  |

Thanks a lot Toto, JP, Neon, IDOL Romy, Ely, Mela, Bong, William, Alain, KUYA Tonji and Sylvia Toto: I've been to VE more than 3x na for bird photography & every single time, the IBKF has had perfect attendance. Neon: Sigh... how I really wish na it's as easy as you say it is - HehEhHEhee in my dreams !!!! I need my own Arnold to carry my gear ;D Mela: Thank you again so much. The white thing in the RKF's eye is the light coming from one of the areas where the light is peeping in the leaves of that favorite tree of the red-keeled flowerpeckers. |

Hey, Tina! Can't make up my mind which one I'd love more: the IBKF or the RKFP.
I can almost hear the YVB chirping a devilish laugh "Mwa-ha-ha-ha" then thunder and lightning.

When I was making the YVB halloween photo, that was what was exactly on my mind (more like the count of sesame street - LOL ) |
