I chanced upon this adult bird feeding an immature with grass seeds at the vacant lot beside our house in Paranaque yesterday. Light was flat due to the overcast skies, but the noise made by the immature as it begged its parent for food was enough provocation for me to take out my birding gear from its bag.  Scaly-Breasted Munia ( Lonchura punctulata, adult and immature) Shooting info - Paranaque City, Philippines, September 30, 2012, 7D + 500 f4 L IS + 1.4x TC II, 700 mm, f/5.6, ISO 400, 1/640 sec, manual exposure in available light, hand held, near full frame resized to 1500x1000.  |

Thanks, Ramon, Ely, Michael, Ariel and Tirso! This one was trying to feed on the next Munia generation. It chased away the Munias, so it became my subject instead. I got it just as it started to rain (raindrops are visible in front and at the back of the bird), and the predator looked up the sky possibly to check out the rainclouds. Brown Shrike ( Lanius cristatus, migrant) Shooting Info - Paranaque City, Philippines, October 2, 2012, 7D + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC II, 700 mm, f/6.3, ISO 800, 1/320 sec, hand held, manual exposure in available light, uncropped full frame resized to 1500x1000.  |
