Very interesting shots of the interaction between species, JV. Awfully nice of the ETS to give others a chance to enjoy a respite from the hot weather. Sometimes we humans can learn from our avian counterparts. ;D Photo# 3- YVB: Are you done? Photo# 4 - ETS: Go ahead, water's fine. Photo #5 - ETS: Are you having fun yet?

Once again, Tukayo, I am awed at the photos you've been posting. To have both angles of the flowerpecker is amazing. As Amabssador Ely said, the red coloration seems it was bleeding, such is the vividness of the shot.

This is wrong exposure? I'd love to have this kind of shot any time! Great job!

Not a bad sortie after all! These are all great, but I love the Black-naped Monarch best of all.

Excellent captures, Tukayo, considering the harsh light. The second shot is to die for!

Wow! That is a jaw-dropping image of the coucal, JV! And I love the pose of the Striated Grassbird. Excellent work with the crossover lens. Looking forward to a video using that lens.

Lyds, bad news. According to my doctor, I can't go on birding trips yet. My knee had to be kept in a brace which means I can't bend it.

Please sign in here: Cut and paste to a new post. (Save energy, share space/share gas and toll). 1. 2. 3. 4 Lyds, will this involve some walking? I am currently incapacitated - brace on my left knee - so if birding involves sitting in one place, i can handle that . Also, I am unable to drive yet, so if somebody can pick us up, we might consider going. Thanks, Bob K

These are great shots, Conrad! I like the second photo better. The background is not distracting at all. My only nit, and it's a very minor nit, is maybe it would be nicer if the subject is not right in the middle of the frame.

My wife Cynthia and I recently visited Coron. Thanks to Erwin, the local guide, we managed to get 25 lifers! Since we were relatively new at birding in the Philippines, practically everything that had feathers was a lifer for us. ;D Anyway, we'd like to share these three can't-miss-in-Coron kingfishers: Blue-eared Kingfisher (not the greatest of shots-difficult lighting conditions) 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4x @700mm, tripod 1/60, f5.6, ISO-1000 Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4x@700mm, tripod 1/125, f5.6, ISO-2000 Ruddy Kingfisher 5DMkII, 500mm+1.4x@700mm, tripod 1/60, f5.6, ISO-2000

Such serendipitous encounters! The white-browed crake is a beauty!

Definitely the winner! Full frame even! Gabs, JV, my wife and I were there this morning but we were not afforded any sightings of this bird (nor the bush-hen )
