Thanks Calvin, it was quite near the broadwalk and low on the tree, so with 500mm (effective) could get closeup shots...

Hi Kennie... no lah, not torch but used flash - thats why have a shiny patch on forehead - should have lowered flash power some more... shot with 300mm+TC-17E II, so at 500mm effective... from broadwalk, managed to get closeups of its face.. heh heh...
