A group of birdnuts (Alain, Bong, Rey, Toto, Dennis, Jun, Tonji, Sylvia and myself )went to San Juan yesterday but didn't see much. So we decided to continue on to Villa Escudero (except for Tonji and Sylvia who went home before lunch). It was raining hard when we arrived at Escudero but Mela's warm hospitality boosted our morales. The sun eventually shone around 2 pm and we had a field day seeing the snipes. Let's use this thread to post our photos taken during this sortie. Or if you want to start your thread, that's ok too. ;D Let me start with a photo-lifer for me: Common Kingfisher - Villa Escudero Canon 40D, 300mm+1.4X ISO-400, f5.6, 1/250, handheld

Could they be Common Greenshanks?

They're heeere!! We just saw one at NAWAP yesterday.
Great PP job on this one, Toto. The warm colors are quite appealing.

I just love the expression on these two! Dozens of captions popped into my mind. ;D I wonder what those string-like things are in their mouths. Saliva, maybe?
Note to self: Add San Mateo to the list of places to visit.

Cool shot, Jv! These birds can be quite cheeky sometimes - which, of course, always presents great photo-ops like this one.

Congratulations, Ely!
The one in Coron is the Yellow-throated Leafbird, so yes, you got a lifer with the Philippine leafbird. Way to go!

Way cool shot, considering the circumstances. Did Neon clone out my ear? ;D

Great detailed shots of an interesting bird, Tukayo. It looks like it went through a shredder. ;D
Waiting for Sir Des' conclusion. It could be a hybrid after all.

Congrats on the two lifers, Gabs! You captured the scary stare of the falconet perfectly! Being on the passenger side, I think my bald pate (makinis na tuktok) reflected on the falconet hence the "overexposed" part. ;D ;D

Woohoo! Great capture, Edu! Like Gabs. I don't want to post my shots anymore. ;D
@alain, we got this about 100 feet up the road from where we saw it earlier. It was the same place where Toto and Dennis saw it.

Welcome to the PBPF, Gerry! I hope you remember us. We met you at UP Los Banos near TREES sometime around April. It was there we saw the nesting Balicassiaos. Hope to see you again when you visit the Philippines.

Ivan, where is Umiray River? It's the river that separates Aurora province from Quezon Province.
