IRRI - 10th Nov
My planned forest visits were scuppered by a lack of appropriate transport, so birding was restricted to a quick trip to the fields on Saturday. The most interesting bird was the Peregrine which has reappeared for the first time this winter. Previous early dates were 15 Oct in 2011, and 21 Nov in 2010.

... which is very different from the much smaller resident race, F. p. ernesti. This one was photographed on a high-rise block of flats in Manila.
Long-tailed Shrike
Bright-capped Cisticola.

The Peregrine is pretty cool but really love the pose of the Long-tailed Shrike.
