One of the hardest birding sorties I've had, we had to climb the mountain and walk for a few hours and got only two birds. Good thing they were both lifers, the other one is the Philippine Fairy Bluebird though just a record shot at best. Still I was thankful for this catch which I have been wanting to get for quite some time. Philippine Trogon (Harpactes ardens), Rajah Sikatuna National Park, Bohol Province 50D + EF500, f5.6, 1/80, ISO 800, Manual Exposure, Handheld  |

Wow, Congrats on the lifers, Rey! I've yet to see this bird in the wild. Excellent capture considering the lighting, as always great hand holding technique to freeze this bird with 1/80 sec shutter speed w/ 500mm lens.

Wow, you got this! Mine's a bit blurry. Congrats for nailing it... I still remember the beatings of my heart as we approached this lady thinking aload, "Yes, full frame trogon!" And then it flew away!  |
