my family went up to subic after christmas. my sister planned all activities for the 3 days we were there... of course, no slot was provided for birding.

luckily, there was a fruiting ficus right across the street from the villas we occupied and birds would come regularly from breakfast. below are the ones i captured while waiting for breakfast. 3 of them are lifers! wooohooo... ;D ;D ;D

enjoy!
