Good sunlight over Subic rainforest

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites


After almost two months of overcast skies, the sun shone well yesterday and today. Good light is wasted if not used in capturing amazing avian colors....;-)

So I packed my bags and went to Subic rainforest, my first visit in the area for over a month. This sortie's specialty are detailed pics of the Coleto
(my best so far of this near Philippine endemic) and Philippine Bulbul.

Great captures. Well done! You are achieving excellent results with that Sigmonster lens at 800mm - tripod or hand held?
