Spotted Wood-Kingfisher imm - This bird was seen by a BKV farmer being attacked by a Balicassiao, brought to RamonQ's house, cared for by Chris (care-taker), ravenously ate insects fed to it. Few days later, was placed in a low branch (my photos), and the sound of the distressed bird attracted the mother Kingfisher, stayed for a few moments, then flew off together with the immature Kingfisher. We were told later that it was a sight to behold.

Like the Blue-Tailed Bee-Eater catching insect. Nice shot!

Thank you, Oespena,

Nice harvest, Tito Poch.

Those are Blue-Throated, not Blue-Tailed, Bee-Eaters.

Happy that you were able to take a lot of photos. Birds in flight have always been my favorite and you were able to take a quite a few. Good for you Tito Poch :-)

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

Thank you, Tina. Coming from you is quite a compliment.

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

Ramon, thank you. I must have mixed up the names.

[Ely Teehankee]

All these birds would be thrilling for me to have photograph. You must have enjoyed yourself with these captures. Well done Poch & Mabuhay.

[Juan Manuel C. Del Prado]

Thank you, Ely, for the compliments. Yes, it was quite thrilling taking photos of these birds, Ramon had to tell me to relax and keep quiet....LOL.
