More "Olangoers"

[Luis (Chito) Limchiu]

Some more birds during my visit to Olango last week. All taken with
Canon 1D mk2 Canon 300mm F4 IS 2x TC on Monopad/handheld
at Olango Is. Sept 19 2010.
Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatorola) (breeding Plumage)-first time I have seen it on this plumage., with I think a Terek Sandpiper (Xenus cineris).
F8 iso 500 1/500


Grey-Tailed Tattler (Heteroscelus breyipes) with the Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia)
iso 500 F8 1/800


I got this 2 years ago on the water. This time as BIF. I has one on the longest bill that I have seen!

Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata)
Iso 500 1/640 F8


Eurasian Curlew

More next time. Cheers

If there is a water bird that I would like to take its the curlew. The curve beak is wonderfully amazing that it can be so long for a small bird. You were able to freeze the wings at 1/640. Well done Chito. Mabuhay.

What a great harvest you had at Olango, Doc! These birds are would-be lifers for me.

It is interesting to see the transition from the breeding to the winter plumage. Thanks for sharing Doc Chito.
