Bird Race Photos

[Godfrey "Godo" Jakosalem]

I join the 2019 Puerto Princesa Underground River Bird Race  2019 with teammates coming from Negros. We end up on the 6th place for first-timers with 64 species score. The overall champ got 83 species photographed. It's a nice race given that you will have 26k registration fee for 3 pax. Registration includes hotel, food, transportation during and airport transfer.

Love the head turn of the owl, and the FP shots are to die for. Great colors, BG and detail!
