PropJerry, our ever active birder/digiscoper/photographer, just reported this in the PBP egroup:
"Des, Tina, Neon and I went to San Juan, Batangas. Spotted 2 Chinese Egrets and 7 Savanna Nightjars on the beach. Spotted 37 species in all. However, we did not get to see the river where the Philippine Ducks we saw flying very low landed; it was already high noon with the sun too hot. We were told that had we arrived earlier that day, we would have seen thousands of birds that roost for the night."
Very interesting news.... especially for those who have these birds in their most-wanted list...
