Spot-billed Duck at Candaba wetlands

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I saw this rare-in-the-Philippines migrant duck in Candaba last year, but all I managed to capture then was a blurry photo where
the yellow tip of the bill was barely noticeable. I'm a bit luckier today - I got the bird more or less in focus, and although the
shooting distance was very far, the features are unmistakeable. Thus, the Anas poecilorhyncha becomes my 251st photo-lifer...:)
