Very nice pose, setting and detail, Martin! I'll take an extraordinary photo of an ordinary bird anytime over an ordinary photo of an extraordinary bird.

As always, when it comes to you, everything has to be the perfect setting. Wonderful shot Marts !!! Sylvia and I were shooting left and right even with lousy lighting and there was Martin patiently waiting for us to finish and so uninterested to even get a single shot because lighting was really terrible. The only time he decided to take out his gear was when we saw the white morph Philippine coucal ... unfortunately the coucal decided to hide from him This photo of the yellow vented bulbul was the 2nd time he decided to bring out his gear from the car ... it was because the lighting was just how it should be and you were right !

Hehe! What can I say.....I'm a Memory Cheapskate! Thanks again Tina, Sylvia and Tonji for a wonderful sortie! Looking forward for the next opportunity of us hanging out together again!

Nice shot of the YVB, Martin. It has a curious look on its face.

LOL, Martin. If ever I win the lottery, or my employer gave me a substantial bonus this year (with this economy, I wish!), I'll send you some CF cards. ;D
