Nice endemic bird! And such a challenge to photograph these obscure forest birds. Posted 8 years ago

    No harm intended, was mostly referring to my own experiences with bird photography inside forests :) Posted 8 years ago

      No no I must have chosen the wrong letters to express myself, and of course, a keyboard doesn't convey tone of voice. I was completely agreeing with you! I chased this little bugger around for several minutes, and this is the best photo I got, all the while it was less than 5 meters away from me! Posted 8 years ago
