&lt;b&gt;Wood Sandpiper&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;i&gt;Tringa glareola&lt;/i&gt;)
Candaba, Pampanga, 9 Jan 2011

Bong, Doc Mando, and I were on our way home from a sortie marred by overcast skies when we saw these sandpipers on the ponds beside the roads. Wished for a better light, lower angle, and more colors! I kinda like the mud in the background though as it adds dimensionality.
