Photo on one page, description and small pic on the other page...plus a few double spreads and you have 150 pages ...I'd say it would be a very fine book.

lol... I want to collect all 500+ birds that can be seen in the Philippines.

But guys, thanks! Really appreciate the encouragement.

I said a book not a encyclopedia, 70 is enough.

Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio) by alabang, on Flickr

The Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio), also known as the African Purple Swamphen, Purple Moorhen, Purple Gallinule, Pūkeko or Purple Coot, is a large bird in the family Rallidae (rails). From its name in French, talève sultane, it is also known as the Sultana Bird. This chicken-sized bird, with its huge feet, bright plumage and red bill and frontal shield is unmistakable in its native range. It should not be confused with the American Purple Gallinule, Porphyrio martinica.

Great shot pal! Wonderful lighting and feather detail. Love the colors in that bird.

Thanks Zethar

Stunning images Paolo. I look forward to seeing your posts, always a treat.

A few Osprey shots I finally got around to from the Spring.

Lovely images Steve. Please post more. The 800mm IS thread needs more great images!

Amazing IQ...

Steve, best Ospreys I ever saw.

Great images Everyone.

Dolina, awesome work.
Dolina, didn't you have the 7D at one point?.. Just wondering, how you find the MK IV compared to the other cameras...? I know that the 800mm delivers. No questions asked.

Nighthound, did you take those Osprey shots in Florida..? They are absolutely fantastic. Great job.

Still have both 7D bodies. Both 1D4 and 7D are great but behave differently.

I reach for the bodies for differing reasons and situations.

Like say I need more AF points & ISO I go with the 1D4. I need more reach and lighter body I go with the 7D.
