Wow.... outstanding colors and detail on this one, Mark! How did you get so close, did you use a blind or are the AGPs much more approachable now?

Thank you, mastah. I forgot to include this was taken from a car. We were on our way out of Ka Instik's place when we spotted it by the side of the road. We stopped and started shooting, me trying to get as low as possible. If we weren't in a hurry, I would have gone out to get closer, though I guess such a move will scare the bird away.

This is the type of capture that every bird photographer wants to have. To get as close as possible to the bird. Very nice capture. Well done Mark. Mabuhay.
