The Shorebirds are back. sighted with Neil Degullacion

Took some advise from another birder and check out my usual place to see if the shorebirds are back..this are some pictures that I would like to share. This time my brother from Sandakan Neil Degullacion took some time off from work and join me to search for them. He was also excited to spot them too.

A Whiskered Tern decided to take some rest before starting to fly again.

Hi Dennis

Nice - Wish I could get out but am tied down by work just now!

Check your first pic, labelled White-winged Tern. Should be Whiskered I think!

Cheers

Dave

Late updating, few trips with Jason and CK. We had a good sight of the Whitehead Spider Hunter. They took pictures (digiscoping). Have not seen it yet.
