Got this lifer last Saturday at Makiling. Another lifer for me that day was Ate Lyds. ;D This bird was difficult to photo as it just kept moving. Thanks for viewing! Butch 550D, 100-400L, 400mm, Tv: 1/250, Av: 7.1, ISO (auto) 2000, handheld, available light (documentary)  |

Congratulations Butch. I once encountered the Sulphur-billed Nuthatch in Camp John Hay. It was a delight to see them creeping on the branches of a tree at a very fast pace. I can see that both have yellow bills so I don't really know how to distinguished the difference. Mabuhay.

The Sulphur-billed Nuthatch used to be considered a subspecies of Velvet-fronted, but has now been split. The photograph here is Sulphur-billed. The Velvet-fronted has a red bill. In The Philippines the Velvet-fronted only occurs on Palawan I believe |

Thanks very much Gabs, Ely and Paul! I've modified the subject and the photo to show the post-split bird ID. Photo quality is the same though.  Butch |
