I was driving from La Union to Manila yesterday , and noticed that the skies were cloud-free. I thought it was a good time to do a short birding side-trip to Candaba, as I haven't visited the place for nearly two years. Thanks to Tonji R. for confirming that the access road is now passable. Here are a few of the Candaba regulars. Blue-tailed Bee-eater ( Merops philippinus) Shooting Info - Candaba wetlands, Pampanga, Philippines, November 18, 2012, 7D + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC II, 700 mm, f/7.1, ISO 400, 1/400 sec, bean bag, manual exposure in available light. Black-crowned Night-Heron ( Nycticorax nycticorax, immature) Shooting info - Candaba wetlands, Pampanga, Philippines, November 18, 2012, 1DM4 + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, f/7.1, 1/1600 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure in available light, 475B tripod/516 fluid head. Wandering Whistling-Duck ( Dendrocygna arcuata) Shooting info - Candaba wetlands, Pampanga, Philippines, November 18, 2012, 1DM4 + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, f/7.1, 1/1600 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure in available light, 475B tripod/516 fluid head.

Cool. Wow, that duck is nice. Great afternoon golden light on the bee eater.
Too bad we did not meet up. We were too sleepy to stay longer.

Thanks everybody for the kind comments! Cool. Wow, that duck is nice. Great afternoon golden light on the bee eater. Too bad we did not meet up. We were too sleepy to stay longer. Light was very sweet, though not much action in the afternoon, Tonji. There's still a lot of water all over the wetlands, so the birds are everywhere and not yet concentrated in the big pond.

Now that's the way to do Candaba!! Romy, your shots have that extra oomph. Maybe it's the combination of art + technique! Really great work as always!
