Beyond....

Just to say we are booked to travel to the Philippines April 15th! This is first and foremost a family holiday and in particular an opportunity for my son, Benedict, to meet his grandparents and for my wife, Luna, to reconnect with her family. However we are going to spend a few days in Manila and I understand there is some good birding in and around the capital. We are booked to fly to Palawan and plan to spend a week there birding and relaxing and then on to Cebu, hopefully for a few days before heading to Bacolod City in Negros. Thanks to Phil Round I am in touch with the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines and Phil has also advised the birding is a lot more challenging than here. Can't wait.
