This is the same kind of Blue-naped Parrot (Tanygnathus lucionensis) that I saw more than a year ago in Subic sometime ago. It is also the same controversial parrot printed on the new P500 bill where the bill of the parrot is yellow instead of red. Instead of admitting their mistake they would justify it by saying that their was no red ink available to print it. Anyway let us enjoy the beauty of this rare endemic bird while we still can. Somehow it looks like the parrot has a happy smile on its face. Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 800mm f5.6L IS USM, Gitzo GT3530LS tripod, Wimberley WH200 head. Manual exposure in available light. 1/1250 sec., f/5.6, ISO 1600  1/1250 sec., f/5.6, ISO 1600  1/1250 sec., f/5.6, ISO 1600  |

Wow, nice captures once again, Ely! must be really overcast when you shot this to use an ISO 1600 and wide open.  Or, you were waiting for it to take off and catch a BIF.  |

The truth is I was shooting some White Vented Shama in the bushes when this bird appeared and I wasted no time turning the camera to him only to realize later my speed was at 1/1250 sec. because of the high ISO. Another lesson to be learned, is to paused for a quick check. |

The third photo is telling us that the bird is equally interested in what you're doing Ely. Nice series of this parrot showing the features that should have been considered in the new P500.00 bill.

Thank you Nilo. Let us hope they do it right next time around. Such a beautiful bird that got discolored on the paper bill. |
