Thanks to Arne and Steve for verifying the Purple-backed Starling (Sturnia sturnina). This is probably the second or third sightings in the Philippines.

Are there plenty of birds in your place? You often have a bird that is seldom seen or heard of at least by me. Keep it up Godo. Mabuhay.

He, he, Ely. Godo, the name says it.... Go and Do! Godo goes to unforbidden places, very matiyaga. He always have one agenda when he goes out to birdwatch, find the rare one, find the endemic and pin it clear. A true blooded ornithologist with an L lens ... go, go Godo! I'd say he is a bird nut par excellence in the southern part of the Philippines. By the way, Godo , I think, is the youngest in his batch...(of Bobby K, Raul F, Nilo A and the Japanese).
Steady legs... yeah. telyds

Ely, Tonji, Ka Romy Ate Lyds,
If your guys plan to visit in Cebu just inform us ahead (PBP Cebu, CBCF or COS). We can go birding in Nug-as hopefully the weather is with us. We got a small research station in Nug-as ready by July.
Thanks for the wonderful massages.
Cheers,
Godo
