Went back to Candaba this afternoon with JP. Its been a while since I've gone back to this Bird Haven. As such, I was again at awe with the number of birds in the area. And more to that, I was excited to see that the ducks were closer than ever. Was able to peek through the bushes for this Shoveler...
