Neon and I were at Candaba Marsh on the 4th of January. The geese have increased in number but they were just too far (except when they did a quick flyover and we were unable to react fast enough to get even a single shot ). Anyway here are my captures, the highlight being the Javan Pond Herons (there were 3 of them). Thanks for looking. C&C appreciated. Javan Pond Heron (non-breeding plumage?) 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-500, 1/800, f9, handheld (!) Javan Pond Heron (breeding plumage?) 5dMkII, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-250, 1/640, f9, handheld Purple Swamphen (lifer!) 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-640, 1/500, f6.3, taken from car window Striated Grassbird with mantis (?) in its beak 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-400, 1/640, f9, taken from car window Island Collared Dove (lifer!) 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4X, ISO-250, 1/500, f8, taken from car window

Sylvia, these are awesome shots! The exposures are spot on despite being against the light.

Wow! Very fine detail on the snipe and the WWD, Neon! Too bad we missed the geese flyover.

Hi, Fred! Yes, I got the rhabdornis shot but it was way too far for a good image. Are the pratincoles back?

Whoaaa! Best White-fronted Geese shot of Candaba!
The rest of the shots are just, well, Oconific!
How come all those other birds seemed to be hiding when I was there? ;D

Wow, you finally got your full framer of a Brown Shrike! Now I feel awful for leaving a tad early. ;D

Excellent capture of this "circle of life" image, Gabs! I was wondering when I was looking at my version of that shot what that brown thing was in front of the mantis. I didn't realize it was a small butterfly until I read your post.

Here is my shot of the Collared Kingfisher that Gabs mentioned in his post. I am a bit reluctant to post it because there are aspects that I don't really like. 1) The yellow plant behind the bird is quite distracting, 2) a straight blurred branch "connects" to the praying mantis and 3) the tips of the beak are also blurred. So I'll just consider this a "documentary" shot of the kingfisher tossing its prey before swallowing it. ;D Canon 40D, 300mm+1.4X, ISO-400, f6.3, 1/320 taken from car window.
