This photo was taken on April 29, 2011 from the Island of Boracay.. . Last weekend my family and I joined a company outing. I said to myself perhaps I can sneak out in the morning to check out the birds in the vicinity, then spend time with the kids in the afternoon. Well, these red eyed birds were all over the island. You can't miss them. Here is sharing to you a couple of lifers I took down 'station 3'.. . Asian Glossy Starling Exposure 0.003 sec (1/400), Aperture f/8.0, Focal Length 560 mm ISO Speed 3200, Exposure Bias 0 EV, manual exposure, handheld Asian Glossy Starling (juvenile) Exposure 0.003 sec (1/400), Aperture f/5.6, Focal Length 400 mm ISO Speed 3200, Exposure Bias +2 EV, handheld

This bird is quite difficult to photograph because of the glossy feather especially when in direct sunlight. The eyes are nicely matched with the feathers as they are bright red. Nice capture Steve & Mabuhay.

Lovely shots, Steve. The first photo is gorgeous showing the reason why it is called the "glossy" starling.

I found black birds are usually a challenge to get a good focus but you nailed it on the first one. Well done. Cheers
