Photos and videos of wild birds found in the Philippines. We travel all over the Philippines to document and take pictures of birds. Our goal is to make this site a resource of information and images about wild birds of the Philippines.

Mt. Kinabalu, Kota Kinabalu, Borneo

Sylvia went to climb up Mt. Kinabalu for a second time. I felt once was enough! I stayed at the base camp area around 5000 feet and got to take some pictures over two days.

We have to go back to Borneo to see and photograph the fantastic birds. 21 species in two days. We should be able to improve some pictures if we get a chance to go back.

<i>Pachycephala hypoxantha</i>, size 16cm

This is a common bird in Mt. Kinabalu park. It a mountain bird found at 900 to 2900 meters and is endemic to Borneo. Olive green on top with yellow underparts.

When I would see this bird it would not sit still and pose. But I saw it eating a worm it perched in one spot and was able to take a few shots.
