The Young and the Punk

[Neon Rosell II]

This was shot right in front of Ramon's balcony and on the view deck below it. I would have chosen a lower ISO shots but it would have been impossible to capture this ever moving skulker anyway I can do away with some noise Was lucky on the young one when it came out in the open.

[Ramon Quisumbing]

Wow, great close-ups, Neon. Glad to see you have memorialized Elmer, our resident Red Malkoha, so well.

LOL Neon, you are so into macro bird photography ha. Awesome photos as always !!!

Of course my favorite would be the Philippine Coucal mainly because I really like seeing the bird together with it's habitat. That coucal sa tons of details and the colors are fantastic too.
