Subic Bay - Part VI

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

No new species on this side birding during a business trip, but I was treated to an up-close-and-personal encounter with some Subic regulars. A Brahminy Kite eating its meal of newly caught fish was a spectacular sight, although light was not too good at just before 2 pm in the afternoon. I wish the encounter happened during the golden hours.
