Greetings and great to be back in the Philippines and birding, albeit briefly. This Chinese Egret was quite unexpected on the mudflats at Brgy Punta Taytay, near Sum Ag in Bacolod City. Going to have a few days on Danjugan Island and then back to Thailand. Best wishes botab.blogspot.com |

Hi Gerry thanks for sharing and nice set of birds on your blog spot. If you still have time try Balaring silay, just a 20 mins drive from bacolod city, you can capture some Egrets and Terns and Herons there plus good seafood food on restos  |

Thanks for your kind comments. Apologies for not providing the EXIF details on the shot: it was digiscoped so most of the info is useless to you guys with the big lenses! As I have said in another post the birding here is sublime. Sorry it has to be such a short trip but "I will return" in October and hoping to head into the Negros Northern Forest Reserve. Get in touch if you are interested.

. Hi Gerry thanks for sharing and nice set of birds on your blog spot. If you still have time try Balaring silay, just a 20 mins drive from bacolod city, you can capture some Egrets and Terns and Herons there plus good seafood food on restos Thanks Lawrence for the suggestion. I went down to Balaring yesterday late afternoon just after low tide. It's a great spot: three Chinese egrets, a few waders and a White-browed Crake and Barred Rail having a very entertaining territorial dispute. With a group of people including some noisy kids plus sun in the wrong place so no digiscoping...... but I'll be back. We are regular visitors here as my wife hails from Bacolod. As you say the restaurants are excellent....great sea food. I've posted a video of the Chinese egret at Pts Taytay on botab.blogspot.com. Unfortunately the quality of the uploaded clip has deteriorated from the original plus I am a decided amateur. Best wishes and thanks. |
