Random trip. Wasn't really a good day for bird photography but still fine for birding. Tropical depression looming and the weather forecast wasn't so good. Still, we went ahead to Lutopan and had a chance to bird there. We had to climb a small hill where once you get to the other side you will have a good view of the mining pit there. Saw some Blue-tailed bee-eaters, White-breasted woodswallows flying overhead, Pink-necked pigeons, Long-tailed shrikes, Paddyfield pipits and Striated grassbirds. After lunch we went through the manipis-sudlon-cantipla access road.

One of two birds we saw there.
Been looking for these birds for a while. I used to see a lot of them by the road on power lines. Lately, the only views I have of them are like this.

Pink-necked green pigeons. A hill too far.

After the bee-eaters a group of woodswallows showed up.
One of the Long-tailed shrikes there.
On our way to Cantipla, we had good views of Everett's white-eyes foraging. After that the weather got worse and headed straight home. This photo was the only good one I had that day.
