For The Birds !

[T_Dog]

They are Eastern Cattle and Little Egrets and they are after insects, not kernels. But nice video

I thought so too, but after looking at over two hours of video, I could not see a single insect moving. I will take your word for it though!

Plus Common Mynah, White-vented Mynah, Black Drongo, and some unidentifiable wader.

actually more common than you'd think . . every winter vast numbers arrive in Thailand, always loads around me in Chiang Mai. Easily heard, buggers to see. Skulkers they be.

Love these guys. Very common here, actually hear them every night from my room. Now taking a photo is another story.....

[Goshawk]

^ yup . . . i've been in Thailand 11yrs and this stuff (couple of weeks ago now) is the best i've had yet on this bird . . . very common around me too but very tricky to capture well.

Sweet. Obviously prime lens with that narrow dof, what did you use?

[Robby nz]

These ruddy things have been giving me the runaround for a while but I finally got a reasonable shot of one this morning.

Ruddy-brested Crake

Crakes are a nightmare......

surprisingly . . same as Robby, the SX50 bridge cam. It's just a fairly close shot, not from too great a distance.

Yellow bittern.

Taken with my new toy this morning in Kaeng Krachan, the 150-600 Tamron. Noisy like hell but it was pretty dark.

i'll say !

but hey . . . that's the price you pay with these slow Tammy/Sigma's when shooting in the dark woods. It's not bad though, and it's an 'Orange-breasted Trogon' for those that may not know.
