These are photos taken at different places in Candaba. It was a very hot day - this was one of the most tiring day trips that I've ever had but like any other birdnut .... I'd do it again and again ;D Black-Crowned Night-Heron Chinese Pond Heron (saw 3 of these in one place)  Oriental Pratincole (a lifer and my target bird for this trip)  Complete Gallery <-- please click here |

Thank you so much Manny and Bindi Bindi: Thank you again so much. Yes, I did use a 2x Kenko TC for the Chinese Pond Heron and Oriental Pratincole shots. For the Black Crowned Night Heron, I used my 350D + 400mm f/5.6 lens combo. |

Whatever happened to you I could never be more sincere. You and the Mastah were the reason for my wonderful avian insanity.  Had a miscommunication with Kuya Pitsew, anyway there's always the next sortie. |

Aside from the usual well-timed and sharp shots, I can almost feel the heat. You captured the atmosphere as well!

Thanks again Rey Kuya Pitsew : Maraming salamat po (thank you very much) Ding : It was blistering hot that day but like all birdnuts... I can take anything for the love of birds ;D ;D ;D This shot shows that even the herons didn't want to stay under the sun that day. HahahahAHaHAa we were all trying our best to stay in the shade. I don't normally go to that area but this time I had to try it out because it was the only place with some shade in it.  |
