Soldier Flies (Family: Stratiomyidae)This one is metalic black thou there are metallic green and yellow with bold patterns. I would like to find and shoot other colors of soldier flies too. Lately it's to hot here but wet season is coming. soon will have a chance to shoot wet insects.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) This bird is so common and you can see them everywhere, very popular here in the philippines. as a kids it must be the first bird i noticed. it adapted well in urban environment. I read in some countries they ae consider to bring happiness and luck.

My entry for the #monomad challenge created by @brumest and hosted at @monochromesSpotted doves (Spilopelia chinensis)doves are monogamous, mate for life. i can hear it's bird calls in the morning sounded like repetitive "coo-coo-croo" or "coo-coo-krook". i think males does it more often. I almost always seen it in flocks or pairs. they foraging on the ground for seeds, grains, and small insects. i enjoy shootng these birds. they dont get spooke easily :)

I always see them in flocks, very social. they have adopted well in the park. I see some juveniles. i think they not like urban areas, i not see them in houses.

My entry for the #monomad challenge created by @brumest and hosted at @monochromesI got two lens. 600mm for birds and 60mm f2.8 for macro. with macro i need to use external flash. SB800. I like to shoot macro too bec. i can see the insects in details that our naked eye not noticed. Capturing extreme close-up images of small subjects is not easy. specially trying to do the best focus. one move and it will be blur. hope you guys enjoy my photos :) thanks
