Hopefully for a while yet
They were slightly worried about him last year when it was thought that a monitor lizard had bitten his leg, but he seemed pretty robust and was a great bird to see.

Final episode
We decided to take it easy in Manila, our early thought of going to Mount Palay-Palay or back to Makiling quickly faded and we just caught up on some reading and relaxing, so rather a boring end to the trip.
Flight home via Dubai was pretty uneventful.
I'll try to post a cleaned up version of the trip report, (some bits I notice were missed other duplicated), and now that I'm home I will start loading my images and video and will post some of the better shots on here.

Slightly more readable version of report
Edited by Sarah so a bit more than birding at the end.
Will post some more photos and video when I get round to editing them

Fantastic, Thank you. I have found their facebook page which is a good start. We will have been to Kitanglad, Cebu, Bohol, Subic area before we reach Mt Mak and this area, it may well be a good mop area before we go to Palawan. It seems like a place we should certainly try and visit.

Certainly a Spectacular Woodpecker.
An enjoyable report, and well done for doing it on the move, I would never have the staying power or ability to type all that out on a phone. Some cracking birds as well, particularly the Eagle Owl and the Visayan Broadbill - two birds id love to see; not to mention the good old PPP!
Looking forward to your part 2,
and also the next Philippines instalment that has just begun...
Cheers

I wish! Still mostly stuck at 'pipe dream stage' in trip planning, at the moment. One day though...
