Neon, I am dying to see this very rare and beautiful endemic, but my caretaker Chris says my knees won't make it. You're so lucky!

Neon, I am dying to see this very rare and beautiful endemic, but my caretaker Chris says my knees won't make it. You're so lucky! Hi Ramon, how I wish it was in a more accessible place and everybody could see it. This was the most hardest sortie I've done for just one species and I was not able to get good photos. Actually there was no more strength left in me to properly adjust the settings, add to that the skittishness of the bird.  Only consolation was a got documentary photos to get a definitive ID and finally the nest and eggs could be described for this species. Hope this documentation would lead to better understanding about the bird's behavior which would help increase its numbers in the wild. Yes, Tina! W-hiskered P-itta! All the photos from my single 4 frame burst were blurred and below is the best.  Whiskered Pitta ( Pitta kochi) Bangkong Kahoy, Dolores Quezon, June 20, 2012. 5DM3 + 600 f4 IS + 2x Kenko TC, f4 (f8), 1/100 sec, ISO 12600, Tripod-Gimbal support under available light.  |
