Thanks Tonji! I was surprised at the increase in numbers of Whimbrels in the area. Also shot some lifers of small waders that i hope to process as soon as i find time.

These are what is known as the "director's take" shots. Really awesome captures, JV, especially the first two...great dramatic effect!
We might be visiting Calatagan next weekend. Please pm me for recommendations and birding places in the area. Directions on how to get there would be helpful too. ;D

Wow, Calatagan birding looks great .. from your shots at least! I also really like the shot of you and your dog. What a good dog!

Thanks for your kind words Bob! I still have to process and post other shots from the area. Low tide is early morning, and this is the time when these waders feed, not too many species when i was there, but im sure you wont go home with an empty cf card! i will PM you for more details

Many thanks Sylvia! Maybe i was just lucky that weekend, but i expect more species in the coming months. My dog's name is Jacques, and he also swims and rides on my back whenever i go snorkling... maybe someday, i will teach him how to help me carry some of my birding gear.. he he
