175. Visayan Wattled Broadbill (E) (VU) (Sarcophanops samarensis) (C)
Bohol
28/5 A pair in Rajah Sikatuna National Park, Chocolate Hills, on the trail behind
headquarters. One of the unreal moments of the trip, when Hoddinott revealed this
”needle in a haystack”. Our last walk of the day, in late afternoon when rain was
starting, we decided to do a short loop trail behind HQ. Hoddinott checked what he
thought was a falling raindrop in the leaves, at 50 meters distance through dense
foliage, only to realize that it was a sitting Visayan Wattled Broadbill. It turned out
there was a pair, and we approached them and eventually had excellent views of this
star bird! Respect to incredible Hoddinott. What an eyesight.
