Excellent close up of a very interesting bird, Rene! We also have in our list a Eurasian Oystercatcher ( Haematopus ostralegus) that was recorded only once (1992, Olongo Isl. off Cebu), and from the guide plates, it looks very similar to yours. Romy Hi This one was feeding from seashells and molluscs. American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) - 30D, 700mm (Canon 500mm + 1.4 TC), f/8, 1/800 sec, ISO 200, Monopod support, RAW, Beach of Loiza town in Puerto Rico, Sept 23, 2007. Saludos, Rene

Absolutely perfect shot, Reyno - great light, detail, colors and BG! Took this back in October in one of many sorties at Joe Overstreet Landing in Kenansville, Florida. This is a young Female Snail Kite munching of what's left of an Apple Snail. 1DMK II EF500 + 1.4X TC F7.1 1/1000s ISO200 EC=-2/3 RAW Handheld

Hehe... since your rank is now Cebu Flowepecker, we'll take your word that it is a leg of an insect, not a whisker of what looks to me like a male One-Whiskered Warbler..... ;D Nice motif shot!

Here's a couple of shots I took with my 10-year old daughter at the Viera Wetlands. This is an Anhinga or some call it "darter" because of its long and sharp-pointed beak. 30D EF500+1.4XTC F5.6 1/2500s ISO400 RAW 190ProB+Gimbal3421 Prelude Dinner in the Air

Hehe.... the only montane representative in our motif shots, nice catch Neon! Must be very tough to PP after the tiring long drive back home, I bet you're still aching in some places, and just running now on pure adrenalin. ;D ;D ;D Here is my share for this motif. Blue-headed Fantail ( Rhipidura cyaniceps) - eating a dragonfly 40D + 300 f4 L IS + Kenko 1.4x TC, 420 mm, f/7.1, 1/160 sec, ISO 200, Manfrotto 055PROB tripod/393 gimbal head, Live view: Cheers, Neon

My senses are deadened by the magnificence of these over-the-top motif shots, Neon..... several notches beyond perfection, all three of them. Great work!
