Saunders's Gull in La Union (new Philippine record)!

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

The slightly overcast skies provided very soft lighting in this quickie sortie to the vast fishponds of Sto. Tomas (La Union), my first birding in 2015.

It turns out that I actually captured a new Philippine record in this sortie. :)
