Notice the tail. It is a beauty. I wonder why it was given a long tail.   Canon EOS 20D, 300mm IS 0.001 sec (1/800), f/11, ISO 1600 TV hand held |

Maybe to lure some small insect like flies, which usually clings to similar things like that.
Or use it like a whip for defense?
Nice capture TeLyds.

Thanks Ted, Ka Romy. I took this from inside the van on our way to Balsahan. Trinket, one of the best birdwatchers of WBCP, has trained eyes and spotted it while we were moving. Here's the actual distance just to give you an idea. With your monster, I'm sure you would have captured the fire coming out of its mouth.   |

Thanks Mark. The sun was soft and bright that morning. It was actually a good day for butterfly watching.  |
