A fresh sighting of a fantail on a mango tree.

I felt happy that I saw a fantail perching on a mango tree at Fairfield School in Quezon City. I hope in the days ahead, there will be more bird sightings.I guess the last typhoon to visit the Philippines have scattered all birds.



We will post a video snippet soon! Here it is:

Unknown tree in UP Clarkfield

The leaves feel look like those of aratiles, but are larger. There were plenty of buds in most branches. I wonder what this tree is.
