262. Yellow-breasted Tailorbird (E) (NT) (Orthotomus samarensis) (C)<br />
Bohol<br />
28/5 1 male seen well on its song post just behind headquarters, and another 2 heard,<br />
Rajah Sikatuna National Park, Chocolate Hills. The finest looking tailorbird species<br />
of the Philippines, and a very range restricted species – found only on the 3 small<br />
islands of Bohol, Leyte and Samar. Naturally, this is one of the star birds of<br />
Chocolate Hills! 29/5 2 (a pair) Rajah Sikatuna N.P.<br />
263. Black-headed Tailorbird (White-browed T.) (E) (Orthotomus nigriceps) (C)<br />
Mindanao<br />
4/6 2 seen in lowland rainforest, PICOP logging concession area at Bislig, east coast<br />
of Mindanao. An extremely skulky bird, and very hard to get in the bins. Whenever<br />
you see a movement in the foliage, it means that the bird was just there and is already<br />
gone! 5/6 5 do., 6/6 2 heard do.<br />
264. Golden-headed Cisticola (e) (Cisticola exilis semirufus) (C)<br />

266. Philippine Bush-warbler (E) (Cettia seebohmi) (C)<br />
Luzon<br />
15/5 3 seen, 30 heard, Mt. Polis, Cordilleran Mts. A very common bird of dense<br />
scrub at this locality, but very skulking!<br />
267. Russet (Benguet) Bush-warbler (Bradypterus seebohmi) (C)<br />
Luzon<br />
15/5 2 singing birds heard from grassland clearings in pine forest, Mt. Polis,<br />
Cordillera Mts.<br />
Note: Formerly considered a rare bird. Now, it is known to be a widespread bird of grassland in open<br />
pine forest of Cordilleran Mts. in northern Luzon. Recent studies suggest that the Philippine endemic<br />
Benguet Bush-Warbler should be lumped back again as a subspecies of Russet Bush-Warbler<br />
Bradypterus seebohmi with other subspecies as mandelli, montis and timorensis. We follow this<br />
suggestion.
