During last weekend's birding trip in Puerto Princesa, Palawan with local birdguide Rommel Cruz, we also saw the following migrants.
All shots were taken with Canon 1D Mark IV camera, Canon 800 mm lens and tripod.
COMMON SANDPIPER (Actitis hypoleucos)
Taken in Badjao, Puerto Princesa.
F/8, ISO-3200, 1/1600 second, manual exposure.
ORIENTAL CUCKOO (Cuculus saturatus) - immature. Uncommon migrant.
Taken in Balsahan, Iwahig Penal Colony, Puerto Princesa. This was my first time to see an immature OC.
1.4x extender, 1120 mm, F/8, ISO-1600, 1/80 second, manual exposure.
BLUE-AND-WHITE FLYCATCHER (Cyanoptila cyanomelana) - immature male. Rare migrant.
Taken in Balsahan, Iwahig Penal Colony, Puerto Princesa. This was my first time to see an immature BWFC and only my second BWFC ever.
1.4x extender, 1120 mm, F/8, ISO-800, 1/250 second, manual exposure.
1.4x extender, 1120 mm, F/8, ISO-800, 1/250 second, manual exposure.
BLACK-WINGED STILT (Himantopus himantopus) - Uncommon migrant.
Taken in Iwahig Penal Colony, Puerto Princesa.
1.4x extender, on car windowsill, 1120 mm, F/8, ISO-400, 1/640 second, manual exposure.
FOREST WAGTAIL (Dendronanthus indicus) - Rare migrant.
Taken in Crocodile Farm, Puerto Princesa. This was a LIFER for me!
This was a long-distance shot from 60+ meters away in poor lighting under forest cover. The FW would not let us come any closer. Unlike Gray and Yellow Wagtails which wag their tails, the FW sways its body instead.
1.4x extender, 1120 mm, F/8, ISO-6400, 1/40 second, manual exposure.
