Ok, it's a different BIF - a butterfly in flight over the Coastal Lagoon. I hope TeLyds can ID this. ;D Shooting info - Coastal Lagoon, Manila Bay, October 11, 2010, 1D4 + 500 f4 L IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, f/6.3, ISO 400, 1/1000 sec, manual exposure in available light, 475B/3421 support, near 100% crop.  So this thread won't be off-topic in this board, let me add a real bird, also taken this morning.  Common Sandpiper ( Actitis hypoleucos) Shooting info - Coastal Lagoon, Manila Bay, October 11, 2010, 1D4 + 500 f4 L IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, f/6.3, ISO 400, 1/1000 sec, manual exposure in available light, 475B/3421 support.  |

Great catch of the Butterfly Mastah. The Sandpiper is excellent too with the nice pose and the soft light in clean background.  |

Hehe, you got me there, Ka Mastah. Fantastic catch of the butterfly. The sandpiper is superb too with great detail and eye contact!

Romy,
The Butterfly should be a Troides magellanus.

oh my Mastah! first time to see a bif "butterfly in flight" i like the photo of the whiskered tern Thanks, Den! Here's another one taken on Oct. 4th, this time with a 400 5.6L. I'd call it a "crucifixion pose." Grey-tailed Tattler ( Heteroscelus brevipes) Shooting info - Coastal Lagoon, Manila Bay, October 4, 2010, 1D4 + 400 5.6L, 400 mm, f/6.3, ISO 400, 1/1600 sec, manual exposure in available light, hand held  |

Mastah Romy, whether it is a butterfly or a bird, your shots are simply the best!
Despite the abundance and proximity of terns at the lagoon, all my bifs taken there were bifs (blurred in flight) ;D

Thanks again folks for the comments! For those who have trouble differentiating a Grey-tailed Tattler from a Common Sandpiper, here's an in-flight capture of the latter showing the white wing bars and barred tail. Common Sandpiper ( Actitis hypoleucos) Shooting info - Coastal Lagoon, Manila Bay, October 4, 2010, 1D4 + 500 f4 L IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, f/6.3, ISO 400, 1/1600 sec, manual exposure in available light, bean bag.  And a Grey-tailed Tattler captured in a previous sortie, note the absence of wing bar and tail barring.  |

This is your best avatar, Mastah! Beautiful, beautiful capture! I can use this one as my logo for my new Travel Agency name - Birdwing Travel Services. This Papilio butterfly is a birdwing. I have to disagree with our bird expert, it is not the Troides magellanus. This is the female Troides radamanthus radamanthus, endemic. telyds. |
