Crested Serpent Eagle, Common Kestrel and others
A quick burst of birdwatching in a spare moment. Crested Serpent Eagles are active and encounters with both adults and juveniles are frequent. Common Kestrels are wintering all over the place.
Two Black-tailed Gulls were at the fishing harbour, apparently eyeing up bait from the anglers.
Northern Lapwing flocks have appeared in various locations. The largest was over ten birds. Red-billed Starlings and Dusky Thrushes come to the compost heaps in the sugarcane fields every day.

Black-tailed Gulls at the fishing port. First-summer (left) and adult summer plumage. Black-tailed Gulls moult as fast as Kentish Plovers, don't they.
A Common Snipe in the grass. Someone was calling it a Swinhoe's Snipe, but it's a Common Snipe.
Northern Lapwing, male. Moulting into first-summer plumage.
Northern Lapwing, female. Also transitioning into first-summer plumage.
