I was planning to go out of town but could not get myself out of bed early in the morning and ended going to UPD after lunch instead. As expected not much movement during noon time. I started at NIGS then MSI, Frogs, FC with no bird activity at all in these places.
Remembered that the Bignay and the tree with the orange fruit was fruiting this time of year and went to check it out. Surely the tree with the orange fruit, actually the fruit is green but the flesh on the seed is orange, have some fruits that are already ripe and this ripening episode could go on for at least two weeks.
This is the place to go to if you want, in your face captures of LLWE and sometimes colasisi and CS Barbet. The Black-naped oriole was seen visiting the tree as well.
The bignay tree has just started to flower and would take another month to get the fruits to ripen.
Anyway, I just stayed at the parched grounds in front of the CAL building and here's my take. All taken with 5DM2 + 600 f4 IS + 2x Kenko TC, Tripod-Gimbal support.
Coppersmith Barbet (Megalaima haemacephala)
f8, 1/160 sec., ISO 640, Tv priority, EV +1
Philippine Hanging-Parrot "Colasisi" (Loriculus philippensis)
f9, 1/500 sec, ISO 1600, Tv priority, EV +4/3
Black-naped Oriole (Oriolus chinensis)
f8, 1/125 sec, ISO 1250, Tv priority, EV +1/3
Philippine Woodpecker (Dendrocopos maculatus)
f8, 1/250 sec, ISO 3200, Tv priority, EV +1, NR on BG
