My wife Cynthia and I recently visited Coron. Thanks to Erwin, the local guide, we managed to get 25 lifers! Since we were relatively new at birding in the Philippines, practically everything that had feathers was a lifer for us. ;D Anyway, we'd like to share these three can't-miss-in-Coron kingfishers: Blue-eared Kingfisher (not the greatest of shots-difficult lighting conditions) 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4x @700mm, tripod 1/60, f5.6, ISO-1000  Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4x@700mm, tripod 1/125, f5.6, ISO-2000  Ruddy Kingfisher 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4x@700mm, tripod 1/60, f5.6, ISO-2000  |

That's a good & happy 3 Kings. I was there recently and did not get to see the Blue-eared Kingfisher. Well done Bob. Mabuhay.

Like all of them but my favorite is the Oriental Dwarf because of the lighting. Excellent shots. Cheers

Very nice trio set! The kings are perhaps my favorite family. Great work to have caught them at perch and not just darting by.
