Neon, your officially back. The first shot is superb! And wow, I have not even unpacked my gear or seen the pics of my last three birding trips and you already posted your shots from this afternoon, hehe. Very nice. Great DOF control with f4.

Very nice as usual. Well done Neon &Mabuhay. I recently took a picture of a Brown one that KGB says is a Oriental Cuckoo. What is the difference between the brown and grey?

Thanks Guys! Really felt good and energized again to do some stress relief sorties!
@ Ely - as labeled, the brown one is a sub-adult with still some barring on its neck to be molted in to a solid gray of the adult.
