Just to say hello and hello again to some of you. I now live in Thailand but spent the first 50 years of my life in the UK, being born and growing up in Glasgow, Scotland and then moving south to London for almost 30 years. My wife is from Negros, from Bacolod City and we are visiting again with our young son in early October for two weeks. Going to spend all our time in Negros in BC so would love to meet local birders and get out and do some birding. Best wishes, Gerry botab.blogspot.com |

Welcome to the PBPF, Gerry! I hope you remember us. We met you at UP Los Banos near TREES sometime around April. It was there we saw the nesting Balicassiaos. Hope to see you again when you visit the Philippines.

The Kanlaon forest areas should be a good place to spend your vacation in Negros. Welcome aboard Gerry.

Thanks for your messages. Here is the provisional schedule; arrive MLA Friday 1st October 2010 and transfer to Balanga City for 3 days; Monday 4th October afternoon transfer to BCD; Friday 8th - Monday 11th October Kanlaon; Thursday 14th Dumaguete/Siluban for Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Lakes. Sunday 17th MLA and home to BKK. I have no bookings or reservations beyond flights in/ex MLA - BKK so this is not definite.Welcome any comments or suggestions. Also would like to make a quick morning trip to Candaba Marsh and a short trip to Danjugan Island, Neg Occ. How feasible is it to hire a car for the trip to Balanga City? Best wishes Gerry botab.blogspot.com |
