PIED AVOCETRecurvirostra avosettaSome of you might remember when there was a flock of 16 Pied Avocet in Candaba in 2011. This February 2014, there was one Pied Avocet in the fishponds of Malalag, Davao del Sur. It was very far away. Kudos to Pete Simpson for spotting it with his scope! And for taking us there in the first place. This is a first Mindanao record for Pete. f9, iso 320, 1/2500 Canon 5DMark3 + 500mm + 1.4tc + tripod

Wow! A pied avocet just a few miles away from here. I'll have to go see it some time.

I have never seen one and would love to see & photograph this bird with the tip of the beak pointing upwards instead of the traditional downward direction. Well done Sylvia & Mabuhay.
