Bird watching of waterbirds at Ketapang

Ketapang is a region in the west Borneo province that holds the biggest wetlands in Indonesia. Among them are beaches, rice fields, mangroves, rivers, lakes, oxbows, swamps etc. These areas are the best habitats for birds and many of them migrate to Ketapang every year. Because of the variety of birds, this area is also very attractive for tourism and could help to promote this region of Indonesia.
