Thank you again Prof. Tirso for taking us around IRRI in spite of your condition. I really enjoyed that place. It's far from what Candaba is but I had a blast that day coz the birds are not that scared of people so you are able to take better pictures. The best part is that... It's DUDE birding all the way = My favorite type of birding ;D

Barn Swallow


Little Ringed Plover


Striated Grassbird


Oriental Skylark


Little Grebe (breeding plumage)
Far from a good shot but this is my favorite coz it's my first time to see a grebe puff itself up like this which made it look so cuddly


40D + EF 500mm/f4 + Tamron 2x TC ; f/5.6 ; ISO 400 ; bean bag except for the grebe (tripod)

Prof. Tirso : Glad that you finally decided to have the procedure done. I hope it was a successful lap procedure if you chose to have it done that way. Shorter pa the hospital stay if lap :-)
