Mt. Makiling - Part X

Aside from being rained out, my Sigma EF500 SDG flash died on me in the middle of a bird shoot in Makiling. Fortunately, I discovered that the 20D's internal flash has quite a long reach if used with high ISOs up to ISO 3200.

Thanks, James. I thought it is an Artctic Warbler too but waited for another confirmation, in addition to Steve's.

Hi Romy, Not sure if you intentionally left it blank but 2186 is an Arctic Warbler. I am really interested in this Pitta - esp your comments on the size. Also congrats on the LBHeart...thats a pretty good pic considering how they behave! James
