The masked bandit eating bananas. What a beautiful paradise you have there. The color combination of the feathers and red legs, how sexy can you get. Super pictures. Well done Ariel & Mabuhay.

Excellent captures of a wonderful bird, Ariel!
I wish the Philippines were like Costa Rica, Peru and Brazil where the locals do not kill or bother little birds and where they are recognized as tourist attractions. They attach fruits to trees to attract birds, and the birds learn to trust people so we get really close looks at them. I tried doing that in my Batangas beach resort but had little luck in attracting birds, I think because even though we have tried to train the staff to not bother the birds, some still do so. I will try to do so in BK Valley.
