Duncan, I would if I were you, we do still, very occasionally, hear them but certainly not regularly.
Somewhere on Palawan they are still numerous, there was a recent confiscation of 21 boxed-up.
Palawan is great at the moment, with a bit of time it's very possible to get all the endemics + cockatoos.

OK James, you've convinced me! I've booked to go at the end of this month.
Is the tit babbler worth going for?!

Duncan,
Striped Babbler is fairly mega + there are a few endemic ssp up there, ie Sunda Bush Warbler and Yellow-breasted Warbler that may be worth looking at.
Alan, facebook site is fine, FB regularly do these maintenance things, or you need to join up?

Well, I'm pleased to report that the old boy is still alive and kicking, as of a few days ago. I did hear another one, but it was quite distant.
I'm also smiling at my previous question to James about the "tit-babbler" and his tactful response. The correct answer to the question is "no, it isn't", but as he correctly surmised, I actually meant striped babbler!

Indeed Duncan, no tit-babbler is worth the effort! PPP is very good though isn't it!?
Did you make it up for the Striped Babbler? Rob is up the mountain next week, bit frustrating as he'll probably end up with better photos than what I got from years back.

Sadly, no. I spent longer in Sabang than I anticipated and haven't got enough time to look for the Striped Babbler. Did see plenty of tit-babblers, though 
. Best of luck to Rob.
Yes, the peacock-pheasant is superb! I've written a short bit of blather about it in the Vacation reports sub-forum. I like pheasants a lot, and this is surely one of the best.

Looking forward to your report Duncan, but can't find it in the Vac trip report section. Ah...found it!
