This is the male of the maculatus sub-species digiscoped in Brgy Patag, Silay City, Negros Occidental on 27 March 2013. The birds are nesting in a tree in the garden of one of the Bantay Bukit Brigade, the mountain patrol guides, about 10 feet from his house! It is quite a spectacle observing the male and female taking turns in their responsibilities. I was very mindful of issues around disturbance and would like to assure members that I didn't cause any disturbance to the birds - but it should also be borne in mind that the birds are in a relatively cramped garden which is normally bedecked with drying clothes and lots of noise from humans and animals. This is the second consecutive year the nest has been used by this species. So I trust this image is not in violation of your terms.
The image was digiscoped using a Kowa 883 scope and 25 mm LER lens, a Panasonic GF1 camera with 20 mm at f/1.7; scope and camera coupled with Kowa DA-10 adaptor; ISO 100 at 1/15 sec using a 2 second shutter delay; all mounted on a tripod.

Hi Gerry, There's not that many photos showing various angles of PPWP in the our islands. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate your notes on the nesting pair.

maculatus seems to be rarely photographed, so this looks strikingly different from the Luzon birdds.
