Bataan Birdwatching
City of Balanga, Bataan
The Bataan peninsula is part of the East Asian-Australian flyway or the main migratory routes these birds have used for ages. Balanga City’s thick mangrove forest, wetlands, grasslands and mudflats have provided a natural food basket for both migratory and endemic bird species for years, making the area one of the most populated bird sites in the Philippines. The city is a residential and agricultural city. It is the newest, but one of the most frequented birdwatching sites in the Philippines, with at least 35 species and 15 families of birds recorded.
