Probably by now several hundred attempts, I finally got a picture of the little ring plover that i think is acceptable. Got this last weekend at Candaba Little Ring Plover. (Charadius dubius) Candaba, Pampanga, Philippines Panasonic GF1 Canon 300mm 2.8L FD, Canon FD 2x TC 600mm iso 200 1/250 f4 on tripod  thanks for viewing Chito |

Decent quality image for that setup. Was this manual focus? |

Excellent capture Doc Chito. This small bird which usually stays at a distant really needs a lot of attempts before you can get a good capture. Congrats Doc, your persistence paid off.  |

Yes, Don it was manual focus, thus a bit more difficult and challenging but also twice the joy for good captures. Thanks Alain and Rey.

Super close up of the Little Ringed Plover Doc! You are too modest, this is certainly much more than acceptable. What great birding skills to get so close. . A memorable capture.
