Very very nice Kingfisher. You nailed this photo.
The Whimbrel is also good. But the Kingfisher is a knockout.

Both pictures are very good. I like the Whimbrel more because I have never seen one live. Maybe on my next trip. Well done Toto. Mabuhay.

Big thanks Neon, it was probably the sensor swabbing the night before @gabs, thanks. I resisted assembling my tripod since it was all sunny that morning and I learned some lessons from the previous weekend sortie. I figured that the tripod would slow me down because of the rocky shorelines. It would be hard to assemble and level the tripod in that area. Thanks Mark. With your gears ready for pick-up, It would be nice if you can drop by the coastal area to have it re-baptised |

Amazing captures !!!! I want to go to coastal too Thanks Tina! I am sure when you go there, being a bird magnet, the species count currently flying over there will improve further. Wow two Whimbrels at the same time and I never even saw one. Well done Toto. Mabuhay. You will get it soon as it's the season to be jolly. Thanks sir Ely! |
