I finally had some time to go birding at the orchard, and my first capture is a Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis). A medium small egret (19 inch length), this white bird is very common locally. It stays close to cattle or carabao to catch insects the larger animals disturb.
With the orchard at least 400 meters away from the nearest road frequented by vehicles, it's amazing to hear that no man-made noise can be picked up by the microphone, just the distant calls of a sunbird and later the squawk of another cattle egret.
Shooting info - Sony RX10 IV, 600 mm, f/14, 1/60 sec, ISO 100, Uniqball UBH45 + Manfrotto 455B tripod, manual exposure in available light, 4K/29.97p capture, ambient sound recorded by the camera's built in microphone, Maambal Orchard, northern Philippines, October 24, 2020.
