 Nikon D3 + Nikkor 500mm F4 VR + Nikkor TC14eII; f6.3, 1/160, ISO 1600, 700mm, bean bag Yesterday I went up the mountain province for the 2nd time in less than a month. I've been wanting to take a photo of the Mountain Tailorbird but this skittish bird has always managed to elude me. I came close on my first trip near Mt. Data 2 years ago. I abandoned the prospect of getting it on my 2nd and 3rd visit since the weather was not very cooperative back then. Today, my fourth trip to the mountains, I was blessed with clear skies and the little fellow showed up. I would have wanted to include more of the tail section but this would do for now. Enjoy  |

Beautiful capture of this difficult bird to capture with the camera. The details are very sharp. Look at the hair that is coming out of what looks like a bamboo shoot. Well done JP and congratulations on bagging the FBPOTW. Mabuhay.

What a great capture JP! I remember you mentioning that this was one of your target birds. Finding and photographing your target bird must be very satisfying.

Tailorbirds are such cool birds. Congrats on such a great picture! Wow! It looks like it's in action (it's calling?) yet there's so much feather detail.
