New to posting, but not new to the forum. I thought I'd post some of the more interesting photos I've taken aver the last year. In all the camera used was a Canon 7D, usually with a 400mm f5.6 lens (The Peacock-Pheasant and Frogmouth were both with a 28-135 f3.5-5.6 zoom). I usually shoot hand-held, though I've recently bought a monopod. I don't keep records of camera settings, to be honest I'm a birder who's bought a camera rather than a photographer who likes birds! Mindoro Bulbul, Pandan Island Christmas 2010 Emerald Dove, Pandan Island Christmas 2010 Hooded Pitta, Pandan Island Christmas 2010 Palawan Peacock-Pheasant, St Paul's NP, January 2011 Greater Flameback, (Red-headed Flameback) St Paul's NP, January 2011 Philippine Frogmouth, Kitanglad

Your pictures taken with a 28-135 zoom is fanstastic. How did you manage to get so close to the bird? Well done Paul & Mabuhay.

How did you manage to get so close to the bird? . Only the Peacock-Pheasant and Frogmouth were with the smaller lens. For the first I was lucky, the PP just walked up to me. The Frogmouth was the one outside the lodge at Kitanglad, and was very acclimatised to people. I just took my time, and got to within 5 feet or so!

The bulbul is an immature or subadult judging by the chocolatey inner secondaries. Lovely pic of the Crimson-headed Flameback too.
