Hi Binot, when I was in Butuan, while taking videos of birds.. one of the hotel staff asked me "Sir naghanap ka ng langgam?" I said no, so he didn't help me. I wish I had read your post sooner.. For everyone, What is the bird known as the "tarat"? One of my cousins pointed to a Pied Fantail and said it's a Tarat, but from another place, they called the Pied Fantail something else, with a spanish tone to it, I forgot. There's always a second time sir Edu at least now you know already. Language in the Philippines is varied and there are words that have different meanings to each locality just like "langgam".

I heard this report on netting this migrating bird by installing fishing nets at the narrow portion of 2 mountains

"Pating" in the ilonggo speaking provinces refers to domisticated pigeons. In the tagalog regions, it refers to sharks. So when you are in a boat somewhere in negros and someone shouted "may pating", dont panic! ;D

for a while i've always thought that the YVB and the shrikes are the same... until i went birdwatching with profjerry last year. i think brown shrikes are what we in bulacan call tarat. i remember my uncle telling me when i was younger that tarats have large heads. but i may be wrong...
pied fantails are called maria capra in bulacan.

Yup! Pied Fantails are also called Maria Capra in Laguna. I also remember that YVB's are called Palago-lago while the Philippine Bulbul is Palago-lagong Gubat.
