17th-19th January 2026
A short trip for the potential birding market by Sutera Mantanani and we got the usual resident birds such as Mantanani Scops Owl, Grey Imperial Pigeon and Philippines Megapode. But luck was on our side with the rare Rose-colored Starling (migrant) and a pair of Metallic Pigeon!
