Did you find it at the playground near minibus terminal?

I believed I saw it today at the same tree.

I was wondering what it was as it was eating at the tree top!

Dear me_domchan

Yes.

Few days ago, I saw only one on that 龍牙花.

But today I saw 6.


Dear HF Cheung,

I don't mind. I just back home and will call you tomorrow.

Today I took some more with tripod.

Dear PL,

Wow......I probably should go and take a look tomorrow afternoon.

From your photo's perspective, it seems to me that you took the photo from the building nearby, am I rite?  

Btw, the color of 2nd series is much better!

Dear me_domchan,

Yes, you are right. I took those photos from the 2nd floor of the shopping centre nearby.

When I took the 1st series, it was a overcast day. Light just from top and HC Drongos were so dark. To see detail of the birds, nearly all photos need to push a lot brighter by software. You can see all flowers became pale in colour and much more noise in dark area.

The 2nd series was took with weak sunshine from left which light up Drongos and made the condition much better.

If you will take photo when you go and choice the same location as me, its better in the morning with sunshine. In other time you may encounter strong shadow or strong backlight.


Dear Mike,

Thanks!!!!

I love the first one of the 2nd series too.

Percy

Oh, you took the photos next to the stairs of the shopping center on the 2nd floor?

Very nice! I hope I can go and take a look tomorrow, if time allowed.

殘念.. 找到棵樹. 除了相思. 沒有其他. 可能要等到黃昏先有...  :-[
