Melodious Babbler
MELODIOUS BABBLER
Malacopteron palawanense
Family Pellorneidae
note: in the IOC list this is Family Pellorneidae - Fulvettas, Ground Babblers
L 198 mm (7 3/4")
endemic, uncommon
Bird # 369 - September 2012
This is a bird that's easy to hear, difficult to see, and really difficult to photograph. The first time we saw it, we didn't "tick" it because it just flew across the path. The second time we had better views of them perched. But, no picture! The third time, marginal pictures! Well, hopefully the 4th time will be the lucky time.
