Ever wanted to take up an alternative hobby that requires outdoorsiness without the rigours of jogging or trekking? Why not take up birdwatching?

Luckily, an organization for this hobby is now alive and well in Manila. Be amazed and discover how flourishing communities of birds live in and surrounding areas of Metro Manila. There's nothing like going out there and having a first-hand experience at nature appreciation to see how Nature enriches our lives and what we must do to ensure that these will still be around for the appreciation of future generations.
