Blue-tailed Bee-eater (Merops philippinus Linnaeus 1776). “Tirik-tirik” in the dialect is relatively abundant starting in the month of October however, I did not noticed what month when these birds become less abundant. When these birds are in Naawan it usually appears in the late afternoon hovering from nowhere and swopping and catching insects on the mowed or flowed fields.

Looks like you have a fine copy of the 150-500 OS, Renoir! BTW, you can host your photos at www.flickr.com/ (registration is free), and you can embed it in the forum to make it easier for others to see (and comment on). Also, we have until January 15, 2010 to change our display names to our real name.

Recently I received a mug from the WBCP with the picture of a Blue-tailed Bee-eater on it and the name "Pirik Pirik". I guess it comes in different names with different dialects. Well done Renoir. Mabuhay.

hi ely' many thanks for the "well done" comment. i have'nt tried the upper and lower ends of the f stops and just simply follow the recommended f stop range f7-f8 as this produces a "sharper capture of image" i guess its name is derived from the prominent sound that the bird produces, sounds like "pirrik" or "tirrik". renoir
