Haven't posted a photo in this forum for quite a while. Wasn't able to a lot of sorties last year due to health problems and for some reason lost the drive to go out birding

But some how I think I'm back on track and will be able to do what I love again. To break the ice, a "lifer" for 2015, woohooo! Thanks to Fr. Auckhs for accommodating us on a short notice to go visit the Letran Campus in Abucay, Bataan.

Now, how to attache photos again? After trying several times with no luck, went to google and finally got it

Green-faced Parrotfinch (Erythrura viridifacies)

5DM3 + 600 f4 IS + 2x Kenko TC, f4.5(9), 1/640 sec, ISO 4000, Tripod-Gimbal support, natural light.
