| Arctic warbler |
I was looking at some white-eyes when I saw something move from within the tree just in front of me. It was already drizzling and the wind picked up. Only managed this photo of an Arctic Warbler.

| Asian glossy starling |
Asian glossy starlings were present. Usually, they just fly by. I seem to be seeing more of them there. This guy stayed after the rest of the flock moved to another tree.

| Philippine bulbul |
Philippine bulbul - most abundant and loud bird there.
 |
| Red-keeled flowerpecker |
Red-keeled flowerpecker - managed to snap a few while it was feeding on the berries.
 |
| Olive-backed sunbird |
Olive-backed sunbird - didn't hear from these birds until after the rain. I got so close to this one and it didn't seem to mind me taking photos.
 |
| Female Philippine magpie-robin |
Philippine magpie-robin - this female is munching on a praying mantis
 |
| Philippine coucal |
Philippine coucal - this is just one of the few encounters i have of the bird. I usually only hear them or see short glimpses before they disappear into the foliage. I was half-way up the stairs, just sitting and waiting for a bird to come by but didn't expect for a coucal to show up. This bird noticed me and flew down towards the mango tree just below. These are really smart birds and are really good at hiding themselves and keep you from getting a good view.

| Magnificent sunbird |
Magnificent sunbird - I shot this through a narrow gap on the fence and torch ginger stalks. Which is why I was to get really close. All the bird probably saw of me was a black circle.

Here's another one showing more of the blue iridescent tail feathers.
It was a fruitful day for me. I wish it was like this every time I go out birding :D
