Wow, that's a very strong fix Neon, I'm sure it's going to take the jitters of your withdrawl symptoms quite easily.

Really sharp, Neon. Birding relieves of the stresses of work. I need this kind of fix on weekends, too.

Thanks Guys!! Can't wait to bird with you guys!! See you in the field!!
@ Ely - it's a "Kuliglig" Cicada, not a moth.

I love the pose and composition with the 'upside-down' perch. Excellent control of fill flash and the feather detail is stunning. Top class Neon!

Again thanks for your appreciation Toto, Ariel, Doc Chito and Jacci, wanted to do more birding but the heat is unbearable, after a month in an air-conditioned prison, I need to acclimatize some more.
