Thanks sirs Bob, Ely and Alain  @sir Ely, I was I think 4.5 meters from the bird. I stalked this bird and perhaps he got tired of flying away from me.  |

I was stalking a cisticola when we went to Coastal with sila Tonji too but unlike you, I gave up coz it kept on foraging behind the tall grass and would surface for a few seconds and gone again. Your patience obviously paid off. Galing !!!

Excellent capture of that tiny beauty Toto. Were it not for that blade of grass in front of the bird, that would be among the very best shots of this species ever! Even as it is, it's really really good! :-)

Thanks Edu, Tina and sir BobbyK for the very pleasant comments. @tina, true that ... but I was actually getting impatient already when it comes out of the tall grasses. Lucky I was to have a sharp shot as the wind is constantly swaying the cogon grass. @bobbyk ... yeah how i wish to have that foreground grass off. I had a clear vantage point with the bird but the wind is the culprit. The other shots I got without the foreground objects are either blurred or I dont like. I pick this one becuase of the bird's facial expression. I kinda like it. |
