Macabebe Rain Birds

Went back to Macabebe wetlands (Pampanga, Philippines) on October 30 and 31 to check out how my friend, Mr. Common Kingfisher, is doing. I got rained out the first day, but managed to catch some interesting pics of the Common Kingfisher and Brown shrike in the rain. The following morning, the sun came out and I got Mr. CKF in better light. A lucky capture of a Yellow Bittern in flight capped this sortie.
