wonderful series...did you share how you got these shots? its so difficult to photograph birds in my expereince in indonesia
Thanks Bill.
No secret other than be very quiet with lots of patience waiting for the right moment.
A longer reach lens (800 + 1.4X = 1120mm) would definitely help along with a body that can handle high ISO very well since lighting in the rain forest is not one of the best for photography.
I was also behind a hide for some of the kingfisher shots.
Phoo,
I agree with all the wonderful compliments made by the others .
Because my thesaurus can't provide the appropriate words- I'll have to go with my highest accolade:
"The Peanut Gallery thinks these are swell pictures."

Fantastic set (again), Phoo. As with some of the earlier images, the exifs show that you were REALLY pushing it. The Niltava shot (1/400 @6400) is especially striking...barely a trace of noise and wonderful colors and detail.
