Thank you, Sir Eric. Denz and I was already on our way out of the park when Denz spotted this.
Thank you, Sir Ely. I'm sure, with you, being one of the most prolific birders in the country will have this species in your CF real soon.

Thank you, Neon. I knew you were less than an hour away but I didn't want to send an SMS to inform you because I didn't know how long this would stay on that perch. Then it got harassed by two Black Naped Orioles and flew away.
Thank you, Toto. Yes this is a result of the seminar. There were several HUGE thing I learned from it other than the fact that birdnuts like lumpiang shanghai or sariwa.. it was really worth the time and trip to attend. Can't wait for part 2.

hehehe.. JV.. we were talking and were both a bit on the "lonely" side of the fence because although the seminar was an incredible learning experience.. the almost birdless morning made it so that the day was not complete. So we tried our luck and both went home with ear to ear grins  Thank you Sir William. have you visited Valenzuela already? The light has been really good for the past few mornings. |
