These pictures were taken this month in Alabang. Sorry they're really blurry, I just wanted to know .. what bird is it? It has a very loud, high pitched call.      It also hops on the ground.  |

Hi Sylvia, What you have here is a Striated Grassbird ( Megalurus palustris) there's a picture of it on our online bird guide. |

Thank you Neon! I made a list of Alabang birds based on the online albums of Romy and Tina. This bird wasn't there, so I was totally thrown off. Now I know -- thanks!!
Would also appreciate it if anyone out there can share a list of birds found in Alabang!
