Second day at Camp John Hay

18th and I arrived 05:30 a bit late really, I wondered over to the fields on the opposite side of the road and had anoisy pair of White Throated Kingfisher, then went back to the entrance to the Eco trail and on my way found 3 Long-tailed Shrike to the left.

Elegant Tits everywhere, even a shot despite their mobile nature.

The before I headed in to the trail a Philippine Pygmy Woodpecker showed well enough for a shot too.

I again admired the habitat in the sunlight again and it looks alot like our heathland forests in Berkshire, except of course the bird noises are completely different and even with the altitude, the temperature in the mid to high twenties made it feel very different.

On the loop back I did see Mountain White Eye, Velvet Fronted Nuthatch, numerous Elegant Tits, Philippine Pygmy Woodpecker, Slender Billed Crow and brief views of Blue-headed Fantail, then headed back to the boardwalk to try and see the noisy birds in the scrub near there, but could not see the bird.
