Went camping with my family in a friend's mountain farm in Limay, Batangas weekend before last. Thought I could sneak in some serious birding. But when you're with two other families who're really close friends, individual pleasures somehow take a back seat. These are the motley bounty I got. All taken at Limay, Batangas with the Canon EOS40D, 400mmL 5.6, Kenko 1.4TC, Manfrotto 680 monopod, Manfrotto gimbal head, manual focus, manual exposure  Brahminy Kite 1/1000s f8.0 ISO200  Philippine Pygmy Woodpecker 1/250s f8.0 ISO200  Little Heron 1/200s f8.0 ISO200  White-throated Kingfisher 1/1000s f8.0 ISO200  Little Egret 1/400s f10 ISO200 |

This motley set of bounty surely is a great catch. Very sharp capture of the Pygmy Woodpecker, I've got tons of pics of this bird but not a single sharp image, the head is so hard to freeze.  I like the KF too, nice colors and very sharp. Don't be too hard on yourself Ding, this a great set.  |

Is there also a Limay in Batangas? Actually, not aware of any other Limay except in Batangas. Where's the other/s you know? |

For "sneaked" captures, these are all excellent, Ding! The Limay I know is in Bataan. ;D |

Sorry, got my "Bats" mixed up. I meant Bataan. Limay is the town after Orion. Actually, not aware of any other Limay except in Batangas. Where's the other/s you know? |

A great set Ding. I like the unique color of the reflecting water in the LH shot.
