Shots from a trip to Sumba and Flores including Komodo, Rinca and a couple of days on Bali. Birdwatching was very tough and generally slow, but I ticked off successfully most possible endemics from the Lesser Sundas. The only dip I really regret is missing out on Red-naped Fruit-dove on Sumba - judging from trip reports I seem to be the only one around who did not see the bird while successfully getting difficult species like Sumba Buttonquail. While birdwatching was hard, bird photography on Sumba and Flores turned out to be almost impossible. It was extremely frustrating, birds are generally quite scarce and shy or secretive, maybe it was not really the best time of the year to visit. I came home with very little shots to show from almost 20 days spent on both islands. I photographed only 4 species on Sumba out of 80 seen, and on Flores I fared only marginally better. I got more species in front of the camera, but most of the time I managed only very poor record shots, most of them posted below, so apologies for the low quality. Komodo and Rinca harbor only few species, but thankfully those are relatively obliging, and it was possible to get shots of acceptable quality. At the end of the trip we had a full day in Bali where I managed a few nice shots of Rufous-backed Kingfisher that gave some consolation. Still the overall result looks pretty poor.
