I have concluded two things from looking through the past 23 pages of this place...
1) I need to sell my left kidney and buy this lens
and
2) I need to move to the Philippines. Now only do they have amazing food but birds too.
Beautiful work Dolina

dolina Cream of the Crop  More info | Oct 13, 2012 21:19 | #348 Thanks crbeveri   Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) by alabang, on FlickrThe Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) is a small white heron. It is the Old World counterpart to the very similar New World Snowy Egret. The adult Little Egret is 55–65 cm long with an 88–106 cm wingspan, and weighs 350–550 grams. Its plumage is all white. The subspecies garzetta has long black legs with yellow feet and a slim black bill. In the breeding season, the adult has two long nape plumes and gauzy plumes on the back and breast, and the bare skin between the bill and eyes becomes red or blue. Juveniles are similar to non-breeding adults but have greenish-black legs and duller yellow feet. has yellow feet and a bare patch of grey-green skin between the bill and eyes. The subspecies nigripes differs in having yellow skin between the bill and eye, and blackish feet. Little Egrets are mostly silent but make various croaking and bubbling calls at their breeding colonies and produce a harsh alarm call when disturbed.

They're also filled with very photographic subjects...esp the two legged, bikini clad variety. The other type of natural "scenery" is also very photogenic...white sand beaches, palm trees, turquoise blue ocean etc etc. Photographers do it in 1/1,000th of a second...but the memory lasts forever!

I may go with the 1DX if motivated.  Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybridus) by Paolo Dolina, on FlickrThe Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybridus) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a number of geographical races, differing mainly in size and minor plumage details. C. h. hybridus breeds in warmer parts of Europe and Asia. The smaller-billed and darker C. h. delalandii is found in east and south Africa, and the paler C. h. javanicus from Java to Australia. The tropical forms are resident, but European and Asian birds winter south to Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. This species breeds in colonies on inland marshes, sometimes amongst Black-headed Gulls, which provide some protection. The scientific name arises from the fact that this, the largest marsh tern, show similarities in appearance to both the white Sterna terns and to Black Tern.

Finally f/8 AF will soon be a firmware update away.  Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola) by Paolo Dolina, on FlickrThe Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola) is a small wader. This Eurasian species is the smallest of the shanks, which are mid-sized long-legged waders of the family Scolopacidae. It resembles a longer-legged and more delicate Green (T. ochropus) or Solitary Sandpiper (T. solitaria) with a short fine bill, brown back and longer yellowish legs. It differs from the first of those species in a smaller and less contrasting white rump patch, while the Solitary Sandpiper nas no white rump patch at all.[2] However, it is not very closely related to these two species. Rather, its closest relative is the Common Redshank (T. totanus), and these two share a sister relationship with the Marsh Sandpiper (T. stagnatilis). These three species are a group of smallish shanks with red or yellowish legs, a breeding plumage that is generally subdued light brown above with some darker mottling and with a pattern of somewhat diffuse small brownish spots on the breast and neck.[3] Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_Sandpiper Visit my Flickr

dolina Cream of the Crop More info | Oct 21, 2012 08:52 | #357 So ordered one already?  Striated Grassbird (Megalurus palustris) by alabang, on FlickrTaken in Los Baños, Laguna This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend is not known, but the population is not believed to be decreasing sufficiently rapidly to approach the thresholds under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. Source: http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/106007758/0 Visit my Flickr
