Hello,
I was in Manila last October 28 and 29 with a friend, Ely T. who invited me to go La Mesa Eco Park and Coastal Lagoon. Nice to meet again Ramon Q in La Mesa. I enjoy very much 2 days of birding because I got the Indigo-banded Kingfisher and I cannot forget the Mexican tapas. Thank you very much, Ely.

I like to share the photos taken during this trip.

Thank you.

You got the triple endemic at the La Mesa Eco Park. Your pictures are very good and the expressions that you got from the Spotted Wood-Kingfisher is unique. Well done Tateo & Mabuhay. It was fun to go birding with you.
