For over a week now, I wasn't motivated enough to sit down and edit the footage of this sandpiper species. I thought it was just a Wood Sandpiper, a very common migratory bird. Then, during a casual browsing of the clips, I noticed that the bird is way much larger than a Common Sandpiper when the two were caught in the same frame. The CSP is 8 inches in total length, while the WSP is 8.25 inches. I brought out my Kennedy Guide, and started to examine the new bird's features that are not color related (my color blindness prevents me from discerning color differences). Aside from the larger size, the white eyebrow is very short, hinting that it might be a Green Sandpiper. I then went through one of the footage to see if the tail barring is visible. Voila, the distinct tail barring (which differentiates it from the WSP) can be seen! This bird is a lifer for me, my 283rd. 😊 ( Thanks to Desmond Allen for confirming the ID.) _____ Shooting Info - FRAME GRAB from 4K/29.97p footage, recorded in habitat at Bued River, La Union, Philippines on February 3, 2021, Nikon Coolpix P1000, fluid head + tripod + shotgun microphone, manual focus, manual exposure in available light.

I just got the Nikon Coolpix P1000, to complement my Sony RX10 IV, in filming wild birds in 4K. I expect the P1000, with its 3000 mm reach, to be my tool of choice for distant static birds. The RX10 IV, with its superior AF and better VQ (given its much larger sensor), will continue to be my 4K workhorse when 600 mm is enough reach, or in lower light situations. Just a practice still shot with this P&S. Red-keeled Flowerpecker ( Dicaeum australe, a Philippine endemic) Habitat - Canopy of forest, edge and flowering trees. Shooting Info - STILL/RAW, recorded in habitat at Bued River, La Union, Philippines on January 17, 2021, Nikon Coolpix P1000, fluid head + tripod, manual exposure in available light, 3000 mm (equiv.), 1/250 sec, f/8, ISO 100, slightly cropped to 3:2 ratio then resized to 1800 x 1200.
