The tail is similar to that of a Bee-eater but more dramatic. What a nice capture. Well done Val. Mabuhay.

Great catch there bro. It's true, these birds are so elusive in Coron because they are being hunted by the locals. By the way, I checked our image database, we don't have this species yet. Congrats, you got another one for our database.  |
