White-eyes at Bacnotan

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites



A small tree at my mother's backyard in Bacnotan (La Union) is currently teeming with White-eyes, feasting on its berry-like fruit.
Though they're numerous, these tiny birds (a mere 4 inches from tip of bill to tip of tail) are in constant motion, and are tough to nail AF-wise and exposure-wise.
I had to patiently wait all day (over the last few weekends) in an improvised blind to get a few decent captures.
