COVID-19 Lockdown External Hard Drive Birding

I still remember this day as if it was yesterday because the sunbirds were so oblivious to having their phots taken because they were so busy feasting on the ornamental banana plant flowers. It was also super hot that day and wanted to go home because of the heat but still stay because addict lang to bird photography. HAhaAHaAhA

I normally would not post this because of the framing of the photo and putol the bird on the left. I decided to just post it because I rarely get a shot of the couple together. Such a waste to just delete or ignore it.

Wow, these are amazingly detailed, Plain Idol! These captures make me miss birding in Makiling (I haven't been there in years).... very well done.

Thanks a lot, Romy. I miss Makiling too. Haven't been there for a long time. I miss Mang Danny too :-) After the lockdown, I will go birding like there was no tomorrow!!

So very beautiful shots, Tina! I long for those days when we could go out anytime and not have to worry about face masks and Social Distancing! I am leaving the city soon, and I'm planning to spend the rest of my days in the countryside at my hometown. Perhaps there will be more opportunities to enjoy our passion there ... Stay Safe!
