Silver-breasted Broadbill

Vietnamese beauty

Viewed 15 Times

Another Vietnamese bird, a Silver-breasted Broadbill. There are many members of the Broadbill family in SE Asia, most of whom are spectacular. This is the only one we saw that presented us with good photo opportunities. The rest we only saw high up in the trees. The Silver-breasted Broadbills travel in small flocks and when perched, often display to each other continuously. Like most of my shots from Vietnam, these were taken in very dark conditions, with slow shutter speeds (usually 1/200) and relatively high ISOs of 2000+.
