I always wanted to take a closer shot of this beautiful rail, I finally my chanced at Candaba the other day, but because of the intervening grass I had to practice my manual focusing skills on this handheld shot.

Looks like the bandwagon now is to go to Candaba. Aside from the buff banded rail would you say that there are more birds waiting to have their pictures taken? Or the conditions are not that ripe yet to be feasting on the birds with our lenses. Nice picture Doc. Mabuhay.

I just hope the predicted El Nino will not drive them away too soon.
