Writhed Hornbill and Zamboanga Bulbul

[Godfrey "Godo" Jakosalem]

Hello,

We visit the lower portion of Mt. Timolan near Pagadian City for few days. We saw at least 42 individuals of Writhed Hornbill in a flock looking for fruiting trees. Here's the documentary shot of the both male and female Writhed Hornbill.

Good job, Godo! Fantastic captures. How's the habitat there? Any threat? telyds

Godo, your choice of Birds are unusual. Given the chance I would like to go there and take pictures of the kind of birds that you take. Any suggestion as to how to go about it? Your pictures are fantastic. It was pure delight to see your smiling Frogmouth bird. Mabuhay.

Godo strikes again with rarities, nice job!

Thanks guys!

Yes you can join us Ely! We are planning to visit Southern Leyte this July or August with Tim Fisher to look for the Miniature Tit Babbler. There's a report from my friend they saw a bird looks like the babbler.

Anybody wants to join this trip?
