We got too many pictures of the Dull-blue. Chris commented that he's never had a more oblinging passerine (perching bird) before. I shot it at 300mm as it was quite close. <br /><br />@Stu,<br />Yeah, I am quite happy about the pratincole. It's not easy to approach it that close.<br /><br />@Chavie,<br />I think we should rename it as Milky Pratincole. Its scientific name <i>Glareola lactea,</i> and lactea means "milky." <br /><br />It was a great tour, photographically speaking.<br /><br />@Patali,<br />Thank you. That wink was to reduce the effect of the glare coming from that side, I think. You're excused if you want to stay away from that trip. But remember, several ladies have done that trip in the past, and have lived happily thereafter. :)<br /><br />@Magerata,<br />Thanks as always. Sri Lanka Frogmouth is a super bird to see it real life, especially at night when it is active. <br /><br />@Phil,<br />Thank you.<br />Nice to know that you like those three! Out of your picks, I consider the Jungle Owlet as the real priced catch. We found it rather shy, quite unlike its wet zone cousin, Chestnut-backed Owlet, which is amazingly bold at sites such as Kithulala. <br /><br />I am sure you'll have perfect conditions to play around with high ISO photography in your English outdoors. :)<br /><br />@Dev,<br />Thank you. Yes, that definitly helps. I too amm totally blown away by high ISO capabilities of modern cameras. <br /><br />@Naren,<br />Thank you, sir!<br /><br />Dear All,<br />A quick migrant bird update: <br /><br />1. A Bright Green Warbler was heard in my garden on 24.09.2010. It was probably an individual on passage as it was not heard or seen thereafter. More of them are expected in the middle of this month. <br /><br />2. Forest Wagtail was spotted by mother and shown to me 29.09.2010. This was my earliest of this migrant bird, which I usually expect around mid Oct. It was silent, so it didn't draw attention. And it was not seen thereafter, which again suggests that it probably may have been an individual on passage (moving to more woodier interiors). I think my regular Forest Wags may come around the usually expected time of mid Oct.Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-16159663640236305492010-10-01T16:43:59.910+05:302010-10-01T16:43:59.910+05:30Jaw dropping stuff!!!!
