Dennis - Thanks Dennis! The IBFK was slipping on the rock and balanced itself with it's wings, I'm glad I was able to capture the moment.;-)

DocBoyMac - Thanks Doc! Let me know when you want to go back, I'm free anytime.;-)

Des - Thank you, Des! The Tailorbird came out of nowhere and perched 5m in front me for a couple of seconds.;-)

Ely - Thanks Ely!;-)

William - Thanks William!;-)

Prof Tirso - Thank you, Prof! Hope you don't mind if I bother you again one day, would love to get a another shot at the snipe. Photo I have is only a headshot. Nice shooting with you, Prof!;-)

Mark - Thank you, Mark!;-)

Ramon - Thanks Ramon! Glad you like the IBKF wing spread.;-)

Sylvia - Thanks Sylvia! Mine and DocBoy's favorite iso.;-) Guess the practice on eurasian tree sparrows and fantails are paying off, but I still have to learn how Tonji photographs a Caspian Tern in the dark.hehe Can't wait for our next adventure. See you soon.;-)
