For the second week in a row, Martin bagged the FBPOTW with this excellent capture of a southern Philippines endemic, which is seldom seen and much less photographed well. The impossibly slow shutter speed of 0.7692 sec (EXIF is intact) indicates how low the light was when this bird was captured - amazing demonstration of birding and photography skills.
Congratulations, Martin!

Congratulations, Martin!
The amazingly slow shutter speed makes the capture even sweeter.
