You see a lot of these swallow at the Banaue Hotel. So hard to take close captures of them coz they are pretty fast fliers. These are wonderful captures Nestor. I'm so sure that you had fun taking them |

Excellent captures, Nestor..... the BIF clearly shows why it was formerly called a RRS.

Hard to catch? Surprisingly, in Leyte, you can come very close. The only problem was it was raining that time. There were about a dozen of them, eye level, just at the back of the Nutrition Bldg. of Vis. University, where they make the famous Langka fritters.
