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.

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
<i>Coracina Larvata</i>, Size 22cm

According to a book a purchased, Birds of Kota Kinabalu- Borneo, there are four species of grey Cuckoo-shrikes and Wood-shrikes in the park. But the other three stay at the lower levels, the Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is the one most likely to be found at the level I was birding. In addition the eyes of this bird are brown which also points to the Black-faced Cuckoo- shrike.

These birds are noisy and not shy at all. I saw these particular birds land on the grass to get some bugs.
