SURPRISED TO REALIZE THAT THE BEST PLACE TO SEE HERONS and BITTERNS EASILY IS IN MANILA ZOO

One old timer there told me that there are around 100 free-roaming specimens that got out of their cages since a decade ago. "The cage was damaged during a typhoon", they added.

You'll see a lot of nests too when you look up.

These are some of the photos.

Lovely captures, Eman... nice to see you posting!

(Note that I had to moderate a couple of posts in this thread, as only photos of wild, free-roaming birds are allowed to be posted.)

Thank you, Boss!

I'm was inspired by your great shots!

As a nature lover too, I believe I have to make a contribution.

God bless you more.

I'll take note of the free-roaming birds only. Thank you again.

Very nice close up, Eman!

[eman campos]

i learned that quality here is about crisp shots.

PBP gave a good jumpstart.

not so lucky to have a 7D M2 and a 600MM lens though

miscalculated the distance of the bird in pic 6 & 7. the leaves got the focus. lesson learned!

more time adjusting the lens, patience patience patience and more shots!

These are not Philippine Ducks, Eman.... they could be some domesticated species.

Here's a clip of Philippine Ducks to show the difference in appearance:
