hmm, des thinks it is an immature barred honey-buzzard and i think he's right. note the unfeathered tarsi in the last pic. congrats on documenting this possible endemic raptor!

Looks like you got really close to this one again. You are not only blessed to be in a farm that's really beautiful, you are lucky pa that the birds seem to like you a lot too Neil.
I really hope to visit that farm one of these days with the rest of the gang.
Wonderful set you've got here. Looking forward to seeing more birds from your area.

...almost no superciliary ridge, eyes lateral, pigeon-headed - not Hawk-Eagle - some sort of pernisy bird.

I think these are the first good pics of a perched juvenile Barred Honey Buzzard ssp steerei that some are calling Philippine Honey Buzzard. Very nice!

It looks like you were so close to the bird that you hardly had any space to maneuver. Nevertheless the results were good. Well done Neil & Mabuhay.

The raptor is perched on the Blue Javanica which is so close to the house. It is also where the Silvery Blue Kingfisher makes its appearance with the friendly GS Flycatcher. It would be good to fly in early, spend at least 2 nights, fly out on the last flight. Three nights would be better. The place is beautiful, the accomodations, the best! Food is good, too! Go guys!

This was another chance encounter; was walking through a wooded lane when a shadow swept past my path. I knew at once that it was a raptor. Moving really slowly, I looked up at saw it eyeballing me. Another heart-pounding moment! Hope to see you guys here soon; Telyds has the dates/rates, etc... ;D |
