Excellent captures Manny. How far were you from the bird because on the 2nd shot I can see a big fish in the bg.

Nice shots, Manny... looks like you were able to get real close!

thanks for looking and appreciating.
what's interesting is that i was actually having breakfast at the grand hyatt bali's outdoor restaurant and these birds were right just beside our table (a good 3 meters tops)! the hotel is a large sprawl with lots of mandmade lagoons and water cascades. they actually provide bread in several bins/baskets especially meant for bird-feeding. it was a real treat both for the birds and guests alike.
i'll try to post some more pics later but this time of the bali bird park.

Haven't seen this yet Maneh...ngayon mo lang na share to, galing!

lovely shot... but this is the bird that ate my poor ugly duckling :)
