Nesting Glossy Swiftlet

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

A quickie birding in Mt. Makiling allowed me to take better photos of a Glossy Swiftlet, which is nesting under the concrete roof slab of one of the buildings.
More captures of a male Spotted Wood-Kingfisher in low, available light capped the sortie.
