When shooting out in the field if the subject was cooperative enough and not weary of my presence, I switch to video mode to get the subjects behavior. Here's one of the instance I was given that chance. Added some more footages from my first release, "Kalaw" What changed that I could not embed youtube videos anymore? Anyway here's the link

Going in the afternoon does make a difference. Just like us the most important meal of the day is breakfast, especially for the birds that have not eaten since sundown until the break of dawn, they will be most active early in the morning. Good to see you & Aphine last night. I reckoned there were not too many scratches on your plastic card. LOL. Eat more vegetables, fish, and fruits and you won't have that pain anymore. Lol, I breath a sigh of relief when I just saw 1 paper bag :-). Thanks for the advice, Ely! Thanks, Tateo!

Good shots of the assorted birds of Candaba. It is too bad that you did not see more than this at a great birding place such as this one. Do you think there is any reason for this or it was just a dull day? Cheers Neon and thank you for sharing. ;D Thanks Ely & Ramon, one reason is we went there late in the afternoon and the main one is my knee, didn't went around as much as I want as the pain was unbearable.

Thanks Sylvia and Adri! The Common Pochard was there alright but it was miles away :-) on the other pond. I was just able to manage a docu shot of the Eurasian Wigeon which Paul Bourdin made a correction on the ID :-) Click photo for full exif data

Nice results for digiscoping at night, Adri! I think you are the only one and the master of this difficult trade! :-)

Great to be with awesome company once again! Hope to join another sortie with lots of VIP :-) Had a grand time!

Wow! nice beautiful birds on a beautiful day, Mick! Sometimes you wished it was overcast to get an even exposure :-)

Great exposure control on this one, Doc Clem! Its really hard to get details on whites on a dominantly black bird.

Nice to see the regulars of LMEP. But I heard that they are planning to build a zipline along this area, that would be detrimental to our feathered friends when they construct that and the noisy crowed that will pass through to get to the ride. :-(
I thought the long thread like dirt was on you sensor right on the V of the branch of the 2nd MBFC photo :-) It's actually suspended on a web that is barely visible on the first one. Great shots on this series, Ely!

Thanks Ramon, Bobby, Ely and Mark Jason! Here is the bird which is the number one on my list. At first I thought it would be difficult to get a single capture but once I figured their habit it was not that hard anymore :-). Got a toasted nape for the effort. Didn't realized I was getting sunburnt already waiting for the "shot", I was too engrossed watching a flock of more than 20 individuals. Variegated Fairy-wren ( Malurus lamberti ) f8, 1/800 sec, ISO 400, manual exposure Very difficult to get a good exposure on this bird due to its metallic head, its easy to get the details blown. I was shooting slightly under exposed and PPed for the even exposure. :-)

Wow! I think it used to be like this in our wetlands sometime in the past, heard of stories the birds were so numerous they blot out the sun.

Wow! What an amazing place, I really hope to bird in this place in the future! Excellent takes in all, Ely!! That must be the nesting stump the trogon pair was scouting, where the female was perched. I really wished to go there as that trogon pair would be a 100% chance of showing up with an open perch feeding the chicks. Unfortunately I'm headed for prison today :-(.
