Suddenly the large green bird with chirpy song came foraging just in front of me, about 15 feet away. Wow!.. this is the bird I have been searching for so long. I all the excitement, I fired a burst of shots. Forgetting the camera +2 setting, it turn out all over exposed. As luck was on my side, that Jade Bird came back, this time I was ready with correct set-up and gun blazing!
Full framed shots, no crop at all in the first picture. (Rarely that I got wild bird captured in full framed, except for yellow-vented bulbul.)
The Common Green Magpie (Cissa chinensis)
'Gagak Gunung' feeding on longhorn beetle
Silver-eared Mesia (Leiothrix argentauris tahanensis)
Have a look for more bird pictures at the Bird Photography Weekly @ Birdfreak.
