The other predators in my butterfly garden.

You must be singing and dancing "In the mood". I have never seen you post so many pictures. Keep it up Lyds. Mabuhay.

Ha, ha. Ely. Thanks for the comment. When you work by yourself at home, a small garden can keep your sanity. The OBS, PFT and YVB are residents in my garden, sometimes a Zebra dove, a couple of LWE and GBF come by- and of course lots of ETS. My office room (used to be an open lanai) opens to my backyard garden. I did not screen the door (I deal with mosquitoes with citronella) so I can get a full view of the garden (even while talking on the phone) and look out from my computer chair when I hear cheerps. My "gun" is always beside me. Sometimes I get very surprised that they are so close (see the Fantail with the beak at the edge of the photo ). Business is slow today and these birds are all over my files, that's why I'm able to share.

Very nice captures Telyds.. Specially the ones of the YVBs.. they look like pictures from a storybook..

The seventh frame (bulbuls in a single branch) is very interesting Ate Lyds.... Your place is truly a haven for nesting birds.

[Lydia Robledo]

Thanks JV and Nilo.
The 3 YVB's in a single branch caught me by surprise. I had to capture it fast without checking my settings. It is the season of fledglings and I love that! They are everywhere in my garden, families! lyd

Lots of YVB's here! 3 on a stick. Hehe. That was my favorite.

I saw lots of butterflies on Mt. Kinabalu, and I thought you would like it there.
