Gurneys Pitta - sp 7

UPDATE 2011 - In February 2011, I got a new set of images from a very cute
and helpful male. Once again, thanks to the outstanding Yothin's guidance...

===============================================================================

I got the great chance of finding 2 new Pittas for my Thai Birds List,
thanks to the outstanding work of the guide at Khao Noi Chu Chi... Mr. Yothin.

However, it was raining most of the time and this skulkers remain
in the deepness of the forest, what makes light so difficult... :(

If one pushes light too much, its amazing colors will shine badly, but with low light
one gets dark images.. I gotta go back with slave flashes next year... for sure!

This -Gurney's- Pitta is the most sought after bird in Thailand and one of the top birds
desired by birders from around the world... A beautiful rarity...

Taken with a Kenko 1.4X Teleconverter on.
