I was pleasantly surprised to find some birds near Science and Technology Part, UPLB, which I thought I would only see in swampy areas like the Candaba Wetlands. A good number showed up only from a great distance so some of the captures below used heavy cropping. I hope I have identified the species properly. Btw, this is my first post! All photos were taken using my Canon 7D, EF 100-400 mm L IS USM, and occasionally a Canon TC 1.4x. All are either handheld or with car window support.

Congratulations on your first posting. The variety of birds is an ample reward for a birder. I have yet to see a snipe and a quail which by the way is my favorite among your rich harvest. If these birds are as abundant as they seem I would like to go there. Well done Tirso and Mabuhay.

hey sir tisoy! good set! maybe we should get together one of these weekends. using the car as camera support and hide is appropriate in this area of campus because the birds are used to the traffic.

If these birds are as abundant as they seem I would like to go there. Well done Tirso and Mabuhay. Thank you very much Ely. It's so heartwarming to get a pat in the back from one of the best in bird photography in RP. I am not sure about the snipes but I can point to you where to look for the buttonquails. Send me a message if you're coming at 09173237294. |

Congrats Tirso on your bountiful harvest. The Buttonquail is my favorite, very sharp with great details. Thanks a lot Rey! I feel so honored. The area I mentioned offers quite a few photo opportunities, although nowadays, those water birds pictured are on the wane. The buttonquails, since they abound mostly by the roadside, can be shot at closer ranges so one could get sharper pictures. |

It's great to hear from my student who has done so well and also an avid birdnut. Yes, we should schedule birding trips along with our kababayans. I know there's a lot to explore out there. |

Oh, WOW! Those captures will make anyone happy- behind the camera or in this forum. Thanks for sharing. It makes me want to go home this week-end- check out the butterflies, too.
And you mentioned Bukidnon... that's my target place this year... Intavas!
Cheerps,

Congrats, Tirso for a bountiful harvest! I like the quail and the plover most! Maraming salamat Alain. It was my first time ever to see little- ringed plovers and I was lucky to take a photo of them, feasting on cattle dung on the street on a rainy day. Most of the other birds I included in my post, although not sharp, are there more for their rarity (?). Thanks again. |

What a harvest !!! Lots of wonderfully taken photos too. Congratulations :-)
The barred buttonquail is my favorite in this set - oh so near and oh so beautiful.
Looking forward to meeting you one of these days... You might just be the quail magnet ;-)

Thank you very much Mark, Madam Tina, Edwin, Chito and JV. Wow, I can't believe I am addressing certified big names in Philippine bird photography. Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration which you and your beautiful pictures have given me.

Great pictures. The 'Common' Snipe looks more like either Swinhoe's or Pintail to me. The thin loral line is the giveaway.
