Posting for the New Year ..

[Bobby Kintanar]

Well, my D500 is back from hospital and I brought it to the small swampy area in Mandaue City for a spin. I only saw 4 species today, but managed to capture only two of them, the Long-tailed Shrike and the usual Striated Grassbird. The Cisticolas were very evasive and the Reed Warbler was also very quick to hide, but at least I get to post something for the New Year:

Long-tailed Shrike:

Superb set from your new gear, Ka Bobby! No matter which pots and pans are used, a master chef always whips out a treat.

Congratulations, D500 come back from hospital. We didn't go birding for a long time so we can go now? Very sharp, all nice photos.
