Very nice pose on both. The crest on the first is nice. Well captured.
All these pics of this bird are making me want to go to UP as well. Tina! Carpool!

thanks everyone!
i just realized... there's no use creeping up to a raptor if it can actually spot a skink slithering beneath grass and bamboo leaves. you can only get as close as it would allow you to get close. maintain that distance and you'd both be fine.
thanks again rey!

I went to UPD this morning and met Bong at the AS Parking lot. Within minutes after setting up, Bong spotted our target bird and we were gifted with a frontal capture of the flavor of the month. This time, i tried it on a higher ISO.  fantail by gabsbuluran, on Flickr Camera Nikon D300S Exposure 0.004 sec (1/250) Aperture f/5.6 Focal Length 400 mm ISO Speed 1000 Cropped Gimbal Support |

Very good timing Gabs!! I'm sure it takes more than luck to get these shots. I like the first 2 frames. Thanks for sharing.

Bert, the croc shot didn't come out well... head movement was blurry.
Thanks Nilo and Edwin. Printing the one of the first 2 frames...
