Whimbrel at San Juan, Batangas

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I visited Pinagbayanan, San Juan, Batangas to do more field tests on my replacement 7D, and the Egrets and Herons didn't disappoint.
I also had my closest encounter yet with a Whimbrel and an Asian Golden-Plover, both in sweet, late afternoon light. :)
