Bitterns and Pratincoles at Paralaya

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I visited yesterday (August 16th) the Paralaya area of Candaba wetlands to check out if the migrants have already arrived en masse.
Not many of the visiting birds are around yet, so I trained my shooting rig at residents. :)
