Well spotted and captured. I captured one near BKK. My only sighting of this bird. The Philippines are amazing. I travelled around, found top clean rooms for budget travellers and stayed at an almost original Robinson Crusoe beach hut. White sands, clear water ... 🛖🏖️🏝️🏞️🌅. Amazing for birders, walkers, watersports, lechon and many other activities.
