Ding, excellent shots! The cisticola is soooo cute! Tukayo, that is an eye-popping shot of the sunbird. May I add one more - another case of the photo being bigger than the actual size of the bird. ;D Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) 3.75 in (10 cm) Palos Verdes, California 30D, 100-400 @ 400mm, 1/250, f5.6, ISO-400, RAW

Here is my take for this Motif. The most smallest micro bird I have the luck to take a photo of. It's I think less than 3". An immature Pygmy Flowerpecker (Dicaeum pygmaeum davao)30D + 300 f4 L IS f/5.6, 1/250 sec, ISO 400, hand held, manual exposure in available light, RAW: Cheers, Neon

Wow... the red is so vivid that I wonder if Cebu's allocation of this color is now severely limited for other things.... another excellent motif shot, Bobby! Thanks Master Romy! I thought I'd just include this as well: Crimson Sunbird (Aethopyga siparaja magnifica) 400D + Canon 400mm L + 2X Sigma TC, 1/250s f/11 ISO400 manual focus, manual exposure, Tripod

Very cute little bird, Bob.... love the detail, lighting and pose! Ding, excellent shots! The cisticola is soooo cute! Tukayo, that is an eye-popping shot of the sunbird.

Now, I think this superb capture would easily win the Tiniest Micro-bird award.... the adult PFP at 3 - 3.25" is small enough, and this young one could be even smaller! Very nice capture and a great motif shot, Neon! Here is my take for this Motif. The most smallest micro bird I have the luck to take a photo of. It's I think less than 3". An immature Pygmy Flowerpecker (Dicaeum pygmaeum davao)30D + 300 f4 L IS f/5.6, 1/250 sec, ISO 400, hand held, manual exposure in available light, RAW: Cheers, Neon

Wow... what a pleasure to see all these beautifull small birds . Thanks a lot for the sugestions Romy, I will work on that. Basically I'm in self-learning mode, but looking at all the awsome birds posted here and the excelent sugestions, I'm sure that my learning curve will improve dramatically this year . Bob, after reading Romy and your comments about the size of the photo I totally agree with you guys, this is like a bird close-up ;D. In my country we call this small bird "Reinita" that means "little queen" and its habitat cover all the island, from the coast until the highest mountain. Best regards, Rene

I have a headache... my brain is trying to figurate how all of you guys and of course Romy, can shot all these awsome almost 3-D bird photos . I really can't understand. I think that I need urgently a tripod and Gimbal, time to break the piggy bank I almost forgot again: Romy I really do not know if the name of the Bananaquit have something to do with the bananas, but this little bird likes a lot ripe bananas and the banana three flower. Below an adult Bananaquit - Total Adult Length - 4.5" (11cm) Canon 30D, Tv 1/640, Av 8.0, ISO 640, Monopod, Canon 500mm Best regards, Rene
