The wonders of mobile comm. tech...:)

I'm browsing our forums via mobile broadband from somewhere in Candaba (currently getting a slowish 800 kbps)... ;D

Looks like Leny M. beat me to posting news about the new bird at our Yahoo egroup - a male White-shouldered Starling at Candaba. I actually saw six individuals, but they are very shy, and I only managed a blurry record shot of a male from afar. The KG says there were only 5 records of this bird, all before 1911... ;D

Will upload the pics tomorrow night, right now I'm sipping rum-cola on the rocks, enjoying the smell of freshly-harvested rice stalks that permeates the cool air.... ;D

I'm beginning to take note of Romy's essential kit. And I think a cooler is part of it!

Master Romy, you write so well, I can smell the Rum in the Cola, the grass, and even feel the soft rays of the dying sun on my skin.... Make me wanna up and go there pronto!

Congrats! :-)
