Thanks to Ate Lyds, Adri and Yanna Feliciano for their great company during a Nurturing Tree expedition to Corregidor. Fortunately, I was able to bring along my walk around birding gear. Corregidor is one great birding location as it has a pretty well recovered forest and is now a bird haven. At every location we went to we were greeted by the call of this bird. Lighting was a challenge but fortunately I was able to get these shots. Hooded Pitta ( Pitta sordida) - Corregidor Island, April 20, 2011 5DM2 + 600 mm f4 IS, f6.3, 1/30 sec, ISO 1250, manual exposure in available light, Tripod-Gimbal support. f4.0, 1/100 sec

Great & wonderful for you to see this bird at Corregidor. I noticed that at this time of the year when the ground is still dry they prefer staying up in the trees. Well done Neon & Mabuhay.

Thanks Guys! Really missed birding for quit a while, it was so long that I needed to re-learn my techniques again. It was good that this was my third sortie for this parole and got the hang of it but was still struggling with my gear.
