Flock Of Black Tailed Godwit
I was really hurting for light - 1/25th of a second really isn't enough to take a photo of a bird, ignoring that it's through an 800mm lens. Species: Limosa limosa melanuroides (Asian black-tailed godwit)

White Throated Kingfisher In Mangroves
This kingfisher was larger than I thought it would be - more like our belted kingfishers rather than the smaller common kingfishers. Species: Halcyon smyrnensis (White-throated Kingfisher)

Osprey Eating Fish
I almost didn't see this bird - you would need a crazy large lens to actually get a decent photo. Given that Osprey's exist world wide, you would think I would eventually get a good photo of one of these. Species: Pandion haliaetus (Osprey)

Dusky Warbler In Intertidal
I was sitting in the blind watching the sea birds when this little guy came out of the bushes and played on the beach. He wasn't there very long and then back in the bushes. I already had my 400 out on a tripod so I was able to capture a photo. Species: Phylloscopus fuscatus (Dusky warbler)
