Japanese Sparrowhawk at San Juan, Batangas

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I visited this coastal town with the primary intention of buying some fresh fish (much cheaper and fresher here than in Metro Manila).
I happened to have my photo gear in the car, so I did some birding on the side. :)
