thanks everyone! it's been a while. we have been a bit busy with work. i am hoping november and december would be less toxic.
the malkohas seem to be thriving. they were crisscrossing the trail. hard to capture though as they would perch high up in the canopy most of the time.
the wtkf is very cooperative. under the foliage but very steady.
cheers!

I had a few hours free last long weekend and visited Nabasan trail in Subic. I was rewarded with these: Red Crested Malkoha Camera Nikon D300S Exposure 0.006 sec (1/160) Aperture f/5.6 Focal Length 370 mm ISO Speed 1000 Cropped, Beanbag on Car Window Support Untitled by gabsbuluran, on Flickr White Throated KF Camera Nikon D300S Exposure 0.013 sec (1/80) Aperture f/5.6 Focal Length 400 mm ISO Speed 1000 Cropped, beanbag on carwindow support Untitled by gabsbuluran, on Flickr

this is a nice set ely. i captured a purple throated sunbird in the Philippine Eagle Conservation Center in Malagos, Davao. they look very much the same except that the ruff are more yellowish in my picture. would the color change as the bird matures? attached a photo for reference.

Sir Luisito, I will make sure I make the crossing to Olango in July. I just hope there would be birds at that time of year.
Mark, the pink-neckeds perched on an open view but I didn't have my gear with me. By the time I got my gear out, they have moved under the acacia canopy. Lesson learned... bring your gear even at breakfast.
Thanks Prof. Tirso and Michael!!!

thanks ely.... the sun in lapu lapu seem harsh all day... the little acacia leaves don't help as it allows rays of light all over the bird. but then, we take what we can...
guilty of overspeeding, officer. i boosted the ISO and just adjusted the speed as needed. given the bright background, i did not even realize i was hitting 1/3200. should probably bring down ISO to 1000 or 800 in future BIF attempts, hahaha...
it's all good. am just sorry i was not able to cross to olango. i understand the anniversary of Magellan's death caused massive traffic and would have rendered attempting to go futile.
cheers!

Birding this season has been few and far between. I had a chance to do some birding in Plantation Bay, Lapu-Lapu City.

thanks everyone for the kind words! the mountain shrike was very active in that area. it was moving from one perch to another. distant but viewable and the light in the morning is good, giving good views.
cheers!
