 Met up with speedmonkey (martin) at Subic to have our first birding for 2008. he showed me a site where he saw pompadour greens the day before and the sight we saw was truly amazing. we saw around 30 of these on a small fruiting balete tree. when the birds were disturbed by our presence, they transferred to a lower tree around 8 feet from the road. |

thanks! with the amount of birds the balete had this morning, i'd give it 3 days before the fruits run out

Great shots! These, I assume, did not require your ingenious floating blind.

3 days before the fruit runs out... so 2 days to go for Romy to decide :-)

Wow!! JP & Martin great shots!! I still don't have a good photo of these birds. Hope to chance on this fruiting tree next year.  Eric is right, where are the females? are all 30 birds males? Cheers, Neon |

Very nice. Romy has at least one nice shot of an adult female from 2005 at Subic.
