I went on two nice trips these past few weeks. Palawan and Bislig. Lots of birds. Here are two shots of a Pygmy Babbler. A lifer for me. These were taken in Bislig. This bird landed very close to me. It was almost eye level. This is a fast moving bird and it is very small at only 4.5 inches. It was part of a bird wave that brought in a bunch of really great birds.

This is as close as you can get. What great shots with the eyes sparkling clear. Well done Tonji & Mabuhay.

Thanks Ely, Mike.
Clemn, the Brown-tit has a brown belly.
The birds we saw in Zamboanga were Brown-tit if I remember right.

Big Congrats on this Tonji!!! I've been to this birding site many times in the past but still no "closure shot" of this small and skittish bird.
