Ruddy Kingfisher It was a lucky birding indeed.........my buddy called my attention as i was shooting other species and fortunately i was able to read his sign language. In front of us was one of the Kings. It was an experience seeing it just a few meters away, it's keeps wagging it's tail and looking comfortable.........absolutely breathtaking . Canon 7D, EF-300 2.8L IS AV mode, 1/320 sec at f8.0. ISO 320 Support: Fiesol Tripod, Arcatech long lens head  Stork-billed Kingfisher This one is a bonus...........such an enormous Kingfisher.  Canon 7D, EF-300 2.8L IS + 2xTC AV mode, 1/125 sec at f8.0. ISO 320 Support: Fiesol Tripod, Arcatech long lens head Ashy Drongo The Drongo was shot last minute when my mentor and I were about to leave ..........just the right timing as the light was still favorable for shooting. Canon 7D, EF-300 2.8L IS AV mode, 1/500 sec at f8.0. ISO 320 Support: Fiesol Tripod, Arcatech long lens head Lesser Sand-Plover ( non-breeding )
Taken late afternoon with the perfect lighting............unfortunately got so much insect bites in my arms but didn't care , priority a good capture.  Canon 7D, EF-300 2.8L IS + TC 2X AV mode, 1/400 sec at f8.0. ISO 320 Support: Fiesol Tripod, Arcatech long lens head More to come in a few days.  |

Wow lucky you !!!! I haven't even seen those 2 kingfishers yet but then again I don't go out/travel as often as I would like.
Now you've given me the itch to go out tomorrow and go birding. Happy for you :-)

The sight of birds is always a thrill to me. I think Boymac feels the same way too plus he has you for a birding buddy. Glad to see you able to photograph this good looking birds. Well done Marester & Mabuhay.

Well done Marester & Mabuhay. Hello Ely, i totally agree with you it's always a thrill to see our feathered friends around and be able to capture them. Yeap it's not easy birding alone it's always nice to have a buddy around. Thanks a lot Ely. |

Lovely shots! You haven't said which island you were on but I would guess from the collection that it was the Palawan area. The drongo is Ashy rather than Spangled.
