Was able to get some documentary shots of a male and female Black-naped Monarch here in the farm (Jan 31, 2012): Male    Female;  Hope to get better shots next time!  |

We all have to start somewhere. I just checked my camera with Canon and found out that I have taken over 70,000 pictures since I bought my 1D and that was just about a year ago. Keep on taking pictures and when the conditions are right you will have good ones to keep.
Cheers & Mabuhay.

Not bad documentary shots, Neil. Is the birding at the Bukidnon farm adversely affected by the flood damage suffered by CDO recently?

Black-naped Monarch is one of the few non-endemic Philippine forest birds. It looks the same as birds in India even. I suspect you are a bit high for either of the other two lovely Monarchs, but I am sure there are other endemics there waiting their photographic turn.

And to think that 30 years ago, our area was just grassland. Now we have forest birds in the property. BTW, we're only 840m ASL. |

It is a great start I look forward to some photos of the Mindanao endemics from your area. Black-naped Monarch is one of the few non-endemic Philippine forest birds.

For a beautiful bird such as this, any decent picture that comes out from my CF card is a treasure.
