Once again you have produced some stunning images Romy. That Sigmonster looks an awesome piece of glass, I can only dream of owning such equipment.

Merry Christmas.

Romy:

I am always amazed by the pictures and quality that you achieve with this lens! :mrgreen:

These ones are no exception to your very high standards and work. The Lowland White-eye almost looks like it was posed in a museum exhibit not out in the wild!!

Is it my imagination/poor eyesight or does the
Falconet have a serrated bill?

Thank you for posting these and letting us enjoy your photographs.

Have a Merry Christmas in the Phillippines.

Thanks, Mark and rudgej.

John,

I got lucky in timing the shot with the white-eye - it's a very active bird, and I was able to catch him in a moment of pause with a relatively slow 1/80 sec shutter.

The falconet indeed has a serrated bill. This pic is among the most detailed ever taken of it in the wild, and the peculiar bill was an item of deep interest among BirdForum fellow members when this was first posted there.

Here's a close-up of the bill:
