Exploring San Juan, Batangas

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Thanks to a tip by Prof. Jerry de Villa, I was able to visit and explore a new (to me) birding area - the coastal mangrove swamps of San Juan, Batangas.
It's a very promising location for water birds, although not many of the migrants have arrived yet. I was given a warm welcome and assisted by Municipal Councilor Noel Pasco and company.
