Candaba Fisherfolks Time to stretch those muscles and shed off that holiday fat. Last weekend I headed with an MTB buddy to the wildlife reserve in Candaba, Pampanga. Its time to promote a clean and green environment, so going to a wildlife reserve on a bike seemed like a nice "clean and green" statement (for my first ride for 2009).

Tres Pescadores

It was 68km (one way) of non stop pedalling along highways passing through several towns (Meycauayan, Marilao, Balagtas, Guiguinto, Pulilan, Plaridel, and Baliuag) of the province of Bulacan, no trails this time. We practically toured the eastern side of Bulacan.

We arrived at the wildlife reserve just a little after 9AM. The sky was clear that day and we were treated to quite a sight.

The areas around the wildlife reserve are being used as rice fields during the dry months (they are practically underwater during the rainy season). The fields are being prep for planting at this time of the year.

Small fishes and frogs are abundant when the fields are being prepared for planting. The birds hunt for food the whole day. I've seen terns diving for fish and snails.

Gull-billed Terns

Egrets and herons are the most common birds there. There were Great and Little Egrets, and Chinese Egrets.
