Wooohooo another lifer!! Just found out after reviewing the captures from the previous day. "Everything that moves is fair game" Although it's a long range documentary shot, the bird could be positively ID'ed using the KG. Philippine Tailorbird ( Orthotomus castaneiceps frontalis) Endemic 5DM2 + 600 L f4 IS + 1.4x Sigma TC, f5.6, 1/160 sec., ISO 1000, Tv priority, +1 EV, Tripod-Gimbal support, under available light.

Some taxonomists have split this bird off as Rufous-fronted Tailorbird, another endemic. Congrats Bai! They are among the most difficult to photograph being micro-skulkers.

That's another remarkable lifer, although their calls are often heard, it's very difficult to see these skulkers.

Thanks Guys! I would have tried to capture a decent shot if not for the time constraint.
