Tawny Grassbird @ Mandaue Swamp

[Bobby Kintanar]

Amidst all the new and amazing photos just posted by our other illustrious members, I present the Tawny Grassbird which has eluded me for so long. The Straited variety are quite easy to see, but the Tawny are really shy creatures!

Well, as usual, patience and much luck paid off today:

Canon EOS 80D with the TAMRON SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 @ 600 mm; ƒ/6.3; 1/1000; ISO 400; Handheld:

Tawny Grassbird (Megalurus timoriensis)

Thank you very much Ka Mastah! I have long given up getting a good photo of this bird, but as luck would have it, I finally got it :-)
