Great job! Only wish you could manage to get better background

Brown-backed Woodpecker - viewable from window, but its 13cm... so went down and photographed from base of tree

Pink-necked Pigeon

p.s.: the 'window' is my fren's condo

Wow where is this place, that you can get all these exotic birds?

wah... solid bird shots! where is this taken? :P

settings?

erwinx · 6th August 2002

thanks for your comments. settings vary a lot - aperture varies from f5.6 all the way to f13, iso varies from 100-400, but I am sure that the shutter speed is 1/125 because thats the fastest flash-sync I can get with my camera

Pictures are generally super-heavily cropped because the birds are wild, scared of humans, and very small...

Don't forget to check out Vol.1 and 2 of this 'exhibition'

By any chance does your condo sort of overlook JBP?

Thats a lot of birds that you have in your vicinity, but i have seen some around my estate too (but no chance to photograph yet).

Some sightings:-
1. Monitor lizard (about 5ft long) in the canal
2. Blue-collared kingfisher (a pair)
3. A family of 4 hummingbirds (very unafraid of ppl - can approach to within 7-8ft)
4. Some occasional egrets
5. A 2.5ft long black and gold-banded snake
6. Many geckos and lizards
7. Lots and lots of snails

I am sure if I look hard enough, there are more that I can discover
