Flame-templed Babbler
FLAME TEMPLED BABBLER
Stachyris dennistouni
Family Timaliidae
L 132mm (5 1/4")
endemic, uncommon
Bird # 392 - January 2013
We saw hiked up Mt. Kanlaon and saw it! Sylvia photographed it in 2013! Then, lost the CF card while shooting some owls in Cebu.
We have seen this bird in mixed flocks. Together with the Visayan Fantail and White-bellied Whistler.
This photo is not the best and hopefully we will take better ones in the future. It is difficult to photograph because it likes the tangles and moves quickly. But given its distinctive call and appearance it should be a bird we will encounter again.
