Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful shots! Nakakainggit! Congrats Tina.

[tina mallari]

Thank you Prof Tirso. Was just lucky that it rained the night before kaya the birds were all out drying themselves plus there was a fruiting tree behind the tree where I took most of the photos :-)

[Neon Rosell II]

Wow! drooling, excellent captures as always, Plain Idol Tins! Wish I could do a sortie with you guys when I get paroled and hope that the birds are still this visible that time. :-)

Congratulations Tina on these very beautiful bird photos!

[Ariel Matias]

Beautiful set here, Tina! Compare to Candaba, I think Subic is a place for me. Nice and colorful birds! I'm not that sure if my 400mm is enough there

[tina mallari]

Thanks a lot Lui and Ariel.

Ariel, I used a 400mm on Subic sorties for the longest time and I was happy with my pictures then. Having longer reach of course brings you to another level of happiness :-)))
