Incoherently Rambling .....
Planned for over 8 months and sure enough its crept up on us. Myself and fellow BF member Jeff (Goyter) set off to Manila on Wednesday with a five islands hop over the course of 17 days. I obviously took great interest in Dave & Sarah Blair's recent trip updates and will attempt to update this thread in the same vein if time allows, they of course have whetted the appetite just a little.
We fly to Mindanao and travel to Mt Kitanglad first for a 3 night stay at Del Monte Lodge. A flight and short (late arrival\ early departure) 2 night stay on Cebu with a visit to Tabunan before ferrying across to Bohol for a 3 night stay.
Then we do a little birding on our own whilst spending 5 nights on Luzon primarily talking in Subic Bay, Mt Makiling, Candaba Marsh areas before flying to Palawan for the last leg of the tour.
Plenty of new birds for us both in the vast number of potential endemics, but will still enjoy any overlap with species we saw a few years ago in Malaysia.
