A male Eurasian Wigeon at Candaba wetlands

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Looks like I'm on a saturation drive in my favorite wetlands - I'm visiting the place twice a week while the migrants are still around, the access road is still passable and the setting sun is almost always golden, unmarred by rainclouds. The highlight of this February 28 sortie is a close view of the male Eurasian Wigeon, courtesy of the Sigmonster + 2x TC...:)
