Black birds in subic and white phil duck

[Luis (Chito) Limchiu]

On my last outing at Candaba there were just the garganeys and shovelers were left, but had a wonderful time because of the phil ducks and this x phil duck which somebody told me romy also had a pic of. Surprisingly it was treated not like a mutant at all by the dominant morph phil duck= no racist in duckworld

When to subic with the kids last weekend I met Nicky the guide with this Singaporean Photography by the name of Jimmy Lim or chiu (I think) finally saw the 600 mm Canon- it was a monster and this 70 yr guy was carrying it around with the tripod and flash- he would not agree to my propose barter with my 300 mm- you know to save him from health problems because I really cared. Anyway here are the pics of backbirds I took that day.

Nice shots, Chito..... looks like you got the amelanistic Philippine Duck too, I've not seen it in my last few Candaba sorties.
