Thank you Very much, William.

OMG..... unbelievable behavior shots, Tateo-san! It appears that the LBC was laid in the nest of the GBFE and the latter is actually feeding what it thinks is its offspring. It's amazing to see the much smaller GBFE "parent" trying to nurture its larger "baby."

Excellent fieldcraft, all captured in 50+ MP.

Thank you very much, Romy. for the nice comment. all captured in 30 + MP ( 1.3 cropped ) I think better than full frame for a bird photograph.

Tateo San, this proves what I told you about what I saw over at Lilo-an! The GBF seems to be favorite surrogate for the Little Bronze! Great timing and excellent captures!
