We had a very unusual photo sortie at a house in Antipolo. It was a huge property full of trees and plants and best of all, a great viewing area in the living room. The living room was above ground level, about 2nd story high, bringing the birds to eye level.

Rufous Paradise-Flycatcher, female
Terpsiphone cinnamomea

f6.3, iso800, 1/125

This was from a further away perch showing the back view

f6.3, iso640, 1/125

The male has a much bigger eye wattle and longer tail.

The flower was growing on the ground, so this time I was looking down on the bird!
Olive-Backed Sunbird
Nectarinia jugularis

f6.3, iso640, 1/125

Canon 5DMark2, 300 2.8, 2xtc, Feisol tripod, Markins ballhead

Its amazing that birds like this can be seen in Antipolo. Your description of the place certainly makes it my dream house. Well done Sylvia & Mabuhay.
