PALAWAN FLYCATCHER (Ficedula platinae) Uncommon endemic of Palawan. I was fortunate that on 4/20/13, local birder Carlo Gomez took me to his secret site with secondary forest and bamboo thickets about an hour outside Puerto Princesa City, Palawan on 4/20/13. After a 200 meter hike and crossing 2 streams, we spotted the tiny, rare Palawan Flycatcher. A LIFER for me! ;D Canon 1DX camera, 600 mm lens, tripod.  F/4, ISO-1600, 1/200 second.  F/4, ISO-5000, 1/500 second.  F/4, ISO-1600, 1/125 second. |

Its a beautiful bird and nicely captured with your 600mm. It looks like you like this lens better than your 800mm. Well done Ramon & Mabuhay.

Thanks, Ely. Yes, I like the 600 mm a bit better than my 800 mm, as it focuses faster and is more versatile with 1.4x and 2x TC and lighter as well.

First time I've seen this bird. Beautiful flycatcher. I will find it next time I visit Palawan. Nice capture, Ramon.

Thanks, Tateo-san. There have been a number of sightings of the PFC in the Puerto Princesa area but not in Coron.

Congrats on the lifer Ramon.
A beautiful bird.
I have seen that bird in Iwahig in 2012 and again in 2013. I have not seen it in other parts of Palawan.
It is not the easiest bird to see.

Thanks, Tonji. Yes, the PFC is a difficult bird to see, much less capture.
