Had 18 lifers and a lot of aching bones and muscles !!! HeHehehehehEhe Wency and I were resting more than half of our entire stay there. It's a good thing that for the 3 days that we decided not to go birding, some of the birds decided to visit us at our room veranda ;D Great Slaty Woodpecker Mulleripicus pulverulentus 40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; 1/50 ; f/6.3 ; ISO 500 ; tripod Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher Ceyx erithacus 40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; 1/40 ; f/5.6 ; ISO 400 ; tripod Wandering Whistling-Duck Dendrocygna arcuata 40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; 1/60 ; f/5.6 ; ISO 200 ; tripod Watercock Gallicrex cinerea (breeding)  40D + 400mm f/5.6L ; 1/640 ; f/7.1 ; ISO 400 ; bean bag complete gallery HERE |

Thank you so much Romy, Adri, Nestor, Ate Lyds and Rey  Adri : Yup, super enjoyed it but would have been great if you guys were there too. Enjoyed playing with Musa a lot. Such an adorable dog. He kept following us so people thought he was our dog Would love to go back to Palawan again to explore the other areas. |

Thank you William and Tonji Tonj: Nah, not intact kasi the hornbills did not show up nor the malkohas  HehEHehEHehE actually, did not have a list of birds that I wanted to see. It was more of a "whatever shows up, happy na din ako" |

Thank you very much Chito, Trinket and Sylvia Trinket: sabi ni Tere, next time punta na tayo together. Sylvs: I'm excited for you guys when you go there in May. For sure you will see more birds than us kasi you guys like to walk around. Good luck Sylvs. |

Thanks Neon Naku, so hard to get flights na reasonably priced na. Wency has been checking out the airlines every single night since we returned and even if they advertise low rates, when you call them, they always say wala ng available. I SUPER want to go back to Palawan, I'm smitten na by that place ;D Dali kasi eh, you go with JP na - you WON'T regret it talaga |
