Sweet light at Candaba wetlands

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I visited Brgy. Paralaya at Candaba wetlands this afternoon (August 11th), and I was fortunate to have some sweet sunlight, a welcome sight after many days of rains and storms. The whole wetlands
in that area is flooded and only part of the road is above water. This forced the water birds to forage and perch along the grasses by the road, all fair game for my 500 f4 IS and 400 2.8 IS. :)
