Was at UPD yesterday. Saw profjerry and docmando. Doc Mando was on the hunt for a Grey-streaked Flycatcher but was a bit late so I am posting this to make him sad ;D Grey Streaked Flycatcher  Camera: Nikon D90 Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/400) Aperture: f/8.0 Focal Length: 400 mm ISO Speed: 200 Handheld I am actually blaming myself for the poor quality. I went handheld but forgot to turn on the VR so even at 7.5 meters this is still poor. |

Eagle-eyed Edu! Must be the last grey-streaked around Luzon by this time, very rare by this time. Certainly much better than my own photos of this bird. Sad kami ni Doc Mando (Left our gear in the house kaya computer na lang sa U.P. while waiting for my daughter). Cheers!

Wow! Very nice (and close) shots, Edu! My GSFL shots were all taken at 100m away (or so it seemed) ;D

The Grey-streaked Flycatcher hardly moves when comfortably perch but they usually perch way up high in the tree with the backlight facing us instead of being behind us. This is truly a great opportunity for you to see him up close and with no backlight. Very nice captures. Well done Edu. Mabuhay.

Thank you, Bob, Glenn, Mastah, Sir Rey, Renoir, Mark, Sirs William and Ely. This is one of the lucky times when I was just standing there, saw what I initially thought was an ETS but perched upright. The minute I knew it was a grey streaked I started shooting. Just lucky. I hope I got a picture good enough for DocMando to appreciate |
