Anvaya Cove Sampler

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Together with fellow Philippine Bird Photography e-Group member Manny Illana, I checked out this site in Morong, Bataan, which is located about 20 minutes drive from Subic. A couple of hours of ocular inspection yielded at least 20 birds species seen. It looks like a prime birding area and a few quick shots gave me the most detailed pics I ever captured of the Pied Bushchat. I hope I can bird this site in earnest soon...;-)

Hey Romy !!! My husband and I are members of Anvaya Cove and this is where I was also able to take the picture of the Pied Bushchat "couple". Birded for a few minutes lang during one of our visits to the place. There is a tree there that the kingfishers like. Sometimes there are four of them on one single tree. EXCELLENT SHOTS as always !!!! Glad you had a great time there.
