Checking out the Balanga water birds

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

With the low tide coming in the late afternoon and the skies clearing up a bit, I decided to make a short visit to this place located at the other side of Manila bay, hoping to see early arrivals of migrant water birds. Not many have checked in yet, nonetheless it was fun to practice BIF shooting at the numerous Whiskered Terns that scanned the shallows for their meal.
