It's not often that an uncommon Philippine endemic is shown in its environment with great detail and such a photogenic prey in its mouth. Congrats Sylvia on this amazing capture!

"That is what I am dreaming to do. Catch it eating something. You did the right thing going to Villa Escudero, now you have a trophy. Well done Sylvia. Mabuhay."
That was my fearless forecast when you first posted the picture. So shall it be written, so shall it be done. Congratulations Sylvia. Mabuhay.

Congrats mam Sylvia!!!! Everytime I see this pic, I always stand in awe at how it eats, by cracking the crab and letting the 'juice' flow down its lower beak.
Congrats again!
