The pictures in this gallery are the most difficult I have ever taken. I did not find the birds in Vietnam confiding and took shots at longer distances than I would normally. Lighting conditions too are tricky particularly on narrow jungle paths which could be too bright on one side and too dark on the other. As is usual in the tropics from 10.30 until around 3.30 the sun is too strong to take true colour shots. From a photographic viewpoint rather than being part of a birding group as I was it may be better to target specific species and concentrate on these rather than continually moving.
The group species total for 14 days was 256 though of course not all were seen by any member of the group.
The Vietnamese are very friendly and for a "people" photographer there are endless opportunities, but be prepared to feel old if you are over 21!!!
