Big congrats Nestor for the amazing capture of this shy endemic. This is among the best photos of the species I've seen! Its the first time I have even seen a photo of this bird and from Romy's description it hard to top this. Congratulations Nestor. Mabuhay.

Woohoo! I knew it this will get FBPOW nod. For nailing this shot of a very elusive bird with ISO 100 and 1/25sec., it would be one of the best for the added difficulty with a low ISO used. ;D Was there a reason for using an ISO 100 for this under canopy shot? Congrats, Panyero!!

Wow wow.
My best shot of this bird is the back view and you can barely see the head. Haha.
This is a great photo of a very elusive and shy bird. Congrats on a well deserved bird photo of the week.

I guess your photo must be a juvenile. I have never seen a White browed Shama like this. Great shot! Des

I assume this must be a female though there is no yellow gape line as I would expect from a juvenile. The olive tones that the KG mentions may just be lost in the photo. Is the pic on plate 54 seriously wrong? This is an excellent shot. It is probably a thousand times easier to see the male since they will approach a tape recording. I have never seen the female like this - only as a flyby. Des
