Casili Hills, Cebu

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

Some wild birds from Casili Hills, Consolacion Town, Cebu Province, Philippines. Nilo and I birded the area in the company of Raul Puentespina, hoping to get a glimpse of the Black Shama. We failed to see the bird, but now we have a good idea how to make a better attempt in the future. Special thanks to Raul for inviting me to spend the night in his house so we can bird very early the morning after.
