Philippines May 2017: Panay, Tablas, Manila area (1 Viewer)

Hey all,

Just finished up about 2 weeks in the Philippines. The goal of the trip was to see all the specialties of Panay and Tablas as well as pick up a few birds around Manila. Overall it was a very successful trip with lots of highlights.

Panay: Negros-bleeding Heart, Panay Striped-babbler, Walden's Hornbill, Southern Indigo-banded Kingfisher, Yellow-faced Flameback, White-throated Jungle-Flycatcher

Tablas: Romblon Boobook, Tablas Bulbul, Tablas Drongo, Tablas Fantail, Mantanani Scops-owl, Dimorphic Dwarf-kingfisher

Manila: Philippine Eagle-Owl, Ashy Thrush, common Luzon endemics


The first blog post covering Panay has just been posted. Panay is an intense, but rewarding place to bird. Lots of very difficult hikes, but the birds are fantastic. Hopefully I'll get the second post on soon.
