Thank you, Mastah it was near enough for these details. Less than 10 meters.  I was able to see a mountain white-eye and some sulphur billed nuthatches but their perch was really high! |

These are the most elegant shots I have seen from the 80-400, so far. Great work! Who says birders do not have a sense of humor with a name like that. |

Wonderful images with amazing details Edu. I'd go easy on the font size if these were mine, it distract the eyes from the beauty of the capture. |

The name is enough to attract attention. So far I don't have an Elegant Tit yet, so congratulations on this fine capture. Well done Edu. Mabuhay.

@pao, thank you for the compliment. I was actually waiting for two of them to share a frame so I could say I have a pair, but it did not happen. @sir Rey, thank sir for the tip. My eyes are probably giving me hints of being tired as this size is the most readable for me when I view them as "medium" in flickr  @sir Neon, thank you for the kind words sir. But honestly I am not grinning ear to ear with these as I was not able to show the proper shade of yellow and the black parts are... well.. black. haha! @sir Ely, than you sir. It was a stroke of luck that I found this. I was given clearance to bird only for one hour that day mark, thank you for the compliment. I will try to post more angles (the one showing the yellow streak at the back of the head) to show the difference between the elegant and the Palawan version. |

Thanks, Tonji. Yes, skittish is very apt to describe this species.
