Subic never fails to amaze me with it's surprises. That is why Wency and I keep on going back there over and over again. It was made more special because we were with Ate Lyds, Nestor, Adri, Trinket, Linda, Bob and Cynthia. Here are a few of my captures: Philippine Serpent Eagle (calling out like crazy)  40D + 500mm f/4 ; f/8 ; ISO 250 ; 1/320 ; hand held Whiskered Tree Swift 40D + 500mm f/4 ; f/8 ; ISO 250 ; 1/200 ; tripod Guaiabero this one suddenly perched at a tree right above me. It was really close   40D + 500mm f/4 ; f/8 ; ISO 320 ; 1/120 ; tripod |

 Thank you Edu, Ely and Ariel Edu: I was driving and then suddenly I saw it as it was starting to descend towards my direction so I stopped the car, got out and started shooting. Had no more time to get the tripod ;D

Wow, Tins, three smashing shots!!! You are truly the "bird magnet".
Cynthia and I thank you and Wency for a wonderful lunch and a a great birding time together. Big thanks to Lyds driving us to Subic and back. To Adri, Trinket and Linda, thank you for helping us find the birds and to Nestor for the company and for offering to take us to Candaba but unfortunately our hectic schedule prevented us from honoring your invitation.
As the Governor of California would say: "I'll be Back!"

Thank you so much Adri, Bob (see you next year), Manny, Ate Lyds and William.
I was surprised too that I got this in focus and what's more surprising is that most of the shots in this burst were clear. Must be the adrenaline ;D
