Big congrats to Toto for bagging this very rare capture of a Mindoro endemic. If catching a Philippine endemic is exciting, getting one found nowhere else in the world but in a smallish Philippine island multiplies the significance of the capture 10x!!!!  |

Congrats, bro!  Still kicking myself for not being able to pull off a decent capture of this bird in the open. |

Uy ... Thanks Mastah for the selection. And many thanks to fellow birdnuts Mark, Edu, Sir Ely. Lady luck was on my side perhaps. Without her I could not have gotten a decent shot of this super tiny bird. Super tiny since it is the smallest I have seen so far and to see even from 5 meters apart.
