Wooohoooo I finally got an Avocet !!! Hahahaha but how I wish I was able to get it here in the Philippines.
Wency and I went birding in 2 areas. One is right beside the coast where the birds are extremely easy to take photos of and the second area was at this marshland that was about 5 minutes away from the house where we were staying in. It was a lot like Candaba in many ways. The weather wasn't always so cooperative so you will have to put up with the rotten background in some photos.
These are only some of the birds that I have taken. I took so many photos that it has become quite tiring to process each and every one that I want to share so I will do this in installments... at 0% interest pa if you want ;D
I'm not really familiar with these birds so please correct me if I mislabelled them. Thanks.
Here goes nothing....
Whimbrel (I get so mixed up with Curlew and Whimbrel so please correct me if I am wrong)
40D + EF 400mm 5.6L ; f/6.3 ; ISO 400 ; tripod + Gimbal head
American Avocet
40D + EF 400mm 5.6L ; f/8 ; ISO 320 ; handheld
Anna's Hummingbird (nesting at the yard of the home of Wency's bestfriend)
40D + EF 400mm 5.6L ; f/5.6 ; ISO 500 ; tripod + Gimbal head
Brown Pelican
40D + EF 400mm 5.6L ; ISO 400 ; f/6.3 ; handheld
Anna's Hummingbird (puffing and spreading it's wings)
40D + 400mm 5.6L ; ISO 400 ; f/5.6 ; tripod & gimbal head

I'm sure you will get to take a lot of photos of birds when you go there soon.
