Sunrise Birding in Manila Bay, Pampanga and Bataan

[Tonji Ramos]

Sylvia, Mike Anton and I went birding in the Bataan and Pampanga portions of Manila Bay.

I brought my 70-300L and 500mm. The 500mm stayed in the bag the whole day.The views were so amazing I wish I had brought my wide angle lens instead of the big telephoto.

One great scene after another greeted us. Caspian Terns at dawn, then a great sunrise, followed by the most amazing scene of thousands of Black-headed Gulls flying in a wave pattern right in front of us.

as I was scrolling down and saw "little heron" I half-expected a flock of hundreds of them.

These are incredible images Tonj!

[Tonji Ramos]

Edu, glad you liked them. I really enjoyed using my 70-300.

I think this area is one of the best places for bird photography.

wooooooooooooow! those birdscapes are amazing!

[Tonji Ramos]

Toto the birds in this area are very interesting. Caspian Terns, Little Terns and other possible new birds. You should take a look.

Nice to see a beautiful landscape photos Tonji R., I like thousands of B-H Gulls very much.

Tateo, I am not sure if they are still around. But if you want to see them this year or next lets plan it. We will be in Cebu Sunday and Monday.
