I dropped by yesterday at the fish ponds of Sto. Tomas on my way back to my mother's house at Bacnotan, and got this interesting egret. I hope it's a Chinese, as this could be a record for my home province. Can anybody confirm the ID?

Gee, thanks Des! My home province's birds are not yet well documented, every species I see could be a potential La Union record. |
