Congratulations Enrique. You have succeeded in putting Philippine Birds at the 4th International Garden Photographer of the Year aside from the distinction of being the first Filipino to do so. As I said before you got the bird at a good angle. Well done & Mabuhay.

Thanks, everyone! It was a thrill to be awarded this.

Sir Ely, this was taken in Bangkok, Thailand - the species is also present here, but I have to truthfully state the place of capture. But you may be right that I am the first Filipino highly commended photo awardee at the IGPOTY contest. Thanks!
