Adrian "Adri" Constantino is a guide at Birding Adventure Philippines and the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines for birders looking for our gorgeous endemics. Adri also volunteers as a guide for public guided bird walks to encourage birding as a hobby and to promote conservation among Filipinos. His love for travel has brought him to different places and has given him extensive experience in birdwatching in Luzon, Palawan, Bohol, and Mindanao. His training as a Molecular Biologist and the abundance of green spaces in the workplace has helped him with his birding skills: being observant and taking notes of bird details, behavior and bird calls. He is an avid nature photographer and an outdoor enthusiast, being one not only with the birds, but also with insects, butterflies, plants and other wildlife. He manages Birding Adventure Philippines’ images, videos and the website at www.birdingphilippines.com.
