Luzon & Palawan 3 – 19 March 2017
Rob Gordijn & Helen Rijkes ([email protected]) - http://www.penguinbirding.com Introduction
A 2 week independent trip to the Philippines, visiting Luzon and Palawan. When we booked our flight we planned on doing Mindanao but naively we had not counted on peak birding season and when we enquired about Picop and Mt. Kitanglad both where booked during our times. Luckily the Philippines have lots of places to go birding. For some photo’s see: https://goo.gl/NyNrYB Itinerary

All the endemics of Palawan can be seen in a 4 to 5-day trip (of which Palawan Striped Babbler requires a 2-day trekking up Mount Victoria. The male Palawan Peacock-Pheasant is still present at the Underground River but who knows for how long he will survive. On Luzon there are several options of sites that can be combined in 10 days (or more). We decided to visit northern Luzon and do a trekking to Sawa camp for the Whiskered Pitta (having read about this adventure in the Jewel Hunter by Chris Goodie). We combined this with a few more often visited sites around Manila: Subic Bay, La Mesa Ecopark and Mt Makiling near Los Banos. With more time a good place to include would have been Mount Polis for some extra endemics.
Other birders We met no other birders during our trip. Practicalities
Guiding We organised the trekking to Sawa camp (North Luzon) and the trekking to Mount Victoria (Palawan) with local guides and birded all other places on our own.
Literature We used the book a guide to the Birds of the Philippines (Kennedy), the only available option, but note that the taxonomy used in the book is quite outdated. Furthermore we used information from several tripreports (mostly obtained from www.cloudbirders.com): Radstaak [2013] and Dwarshuis [2016] for both Luzon and Palawan (Dwarshuis is not on cloudbirders, but dayreports on www.dutchbirding.nl and sightings on observado.org). Furthermore Van der Laan [2013] and Campbell [2014] provided extra information for Luzon and Gallardy [2016] and Hottola [2015] were most helpful for Palawan. In addition, some reports of BirdTourAsia and Birdquest provided some general feel and birds seen in an area. Also used observado.org, ebird.org and igoterra.com during trip preparation. Travelling To and from North Luzon (Tuguegarao) and to and from Palawan we used internal flights (unfortunately there are no direct flights from Tuguegarao to Palawan so we had a short stop in Manilla in between).
We rented a car for the first 4 days around Manila and for the entire stay on Palawan (arranged in advance). Manila has a Number Coding system which means that on a certain day of the week your car is not allowed to drive during rush hours. This came as a surprise for us when we received a text message on our final morning that we had to be back at the airport no later than 7am or otherwise would risk a penalty. In general Manila traffic was terrible. At Tuguegarao our guide Aquilino took care of the transportation to and from the airport. For those who would like to travel with public transport Radstaak [2013] offers very detailed information.
Eating & Sleeping We payed between 600 – 1500 pesos for a reasonable double room with bathroom. Except from the two trekkings (Sawa Camp & Mount Victoria) we did not book any accommodation in advance. Weather Mixed clouds and sunny and dry in Luzon, some afternoon showers in Palawan.
Health and safety Luzon and Palawan have no safety concerns (and Mindanao can be visited with care). Outside Manila some lowland areas malaria can occur so we took pills for the entire duration of the trip.
Money ATM's where plentiful but not all ATM's worked for us. BDO proved to be a reliable option. The Lonely Planet mentions that on Palawan there are no ATM's outside Puerto Princesa (although we did see a few banks/ATMs at Narra but never tried if they worked for us). Costs Flights: We booked our flight Amsterdam – Manila with Cathay airways for 480 euro per person (short stop over in Hong Kong). For the flight from Manila to Tuguegarao we used Cebu Pacific and for Manila - Puerto Princesa we booked with Air Asia. In total we paid 225 euro per person for the 2 flights. Car rental: We paid 1500 pesos per day in Manila (booked through [email protected]) and 1800 pesos per day on Palawan ([email protected]).
Visited Sites
Here we briefly discuss our experience per site, based on trip reports we assessed the most important targets per site. We took a few GPS points of sites and specific birds, those are available here goo.gl/HGrqS6, and can also be requested in e.g. .kml (for Google Earth), .gpx (for GPS devices and GPS software) format. Luzon
Subic Bay This former U.S. Navy base is a popular birding destination close to Manila. Because logging was prohibited on the base (and it still is), quite intact lowland forest holds quite some species that are very hard to find elsewhere. Subic bay is easily reached by car. We slept 2 nights at Crown Peak Hotel (14°47'16.15"N, 120°16'48.64"E) choice near the birding sites is limited, but there is lots more options in Olongapo.
Access road for Hill 394: We spent most time along this road where we parked the car at the gate at the end (14°45'31.50"N, 120°18'7.29"E). From there we walked up and down the paved road and shortly explored the side- road that goes off to the left (coming from the entrance), the complete loop of this road is overgrown (White-lored Oriole). All target birds were seen in this area. Walking along the road seemed a good strategy since it provides good open views in clearings for fly over parrots, woodpeckers (Sooty and Luzon Flameback common) and Cuckoo-shrikes. White-fronted Tit perched in a tall tree next to the gate. We did not try for a permit to enter the closed of area.
Hospital area (14°46'46.19"N, 120°18'30.88"E): We also made a short after lunch stop at the Hospital area (we walked the road just before). Green Racket-tail seemed more common here than at the Botanical Garden road.
Road to Nabusan beach: We tried here one late afternoon and beginning of the evening for night birds. Driving in we had a Spotted Buttonquail (14°45'55.70"N, 120°16'55.12"E) in the side of the road and walking for a few hundred meters from (14°46'2.97"N, 120°15'53.81"E) provided several views of Rufous Coucal and Rough-crested and Scale- feathered Malkoha. After dusk several Luzon Hawk-owl called (one briefly seen) and also a Philippine Scops-owl was heard.
La Mesa Ecopark We left Subic Bay at 5am and drove back to Manila, arriving around 8am at La Mesa Ecopark. We walked to the end of the park where for the next 3 hours slowly walked the forest trails finding several Ashy Thushes (14°42'39.60"N, 121° 4'40.80"E) , Lowland White-eye, Grey-backed Tailorbird (in the bamboo) and Golden-bellied Gerygone. We heard Hooded Pitta (failed to see it) but no sign of any Philippine (Red-bellied) Pitta.
Mt Makiling We stayed for 2 nights at the Trees Lodge just next to the entrance of the mountain road. The lodge is mostly used for students and researchers of the campus. We did not make any reservation and it seemed we were lucky that they had a room available for 2 nights. Several food options are available on and around the campus, alcohol is prohibited on campus.
Botanical Garden: Most important target here is the Indigo-banded Kingfisher (14° 9'21.23"N, 121°13'59.85"E) that can be seen along the main rocky stream. The garden closes at 4pm and on the first day we birded here from 3-4pm, luckily finding the Kingfisher briefly sitting on one of the rocks. The next day we returned in the afternoon and birded from 2-4. We then spend the time at a fruiting tree at the end of the road (14° 9'12.92"N, 121°13'56.66"E). We saw Flaming Sunbird here and our only Yellow-wattled Bulbul of the trip.
Fields around the campus: We drove to the famous Diary Husbandry trail but when we got there the gate was closed and locked. Maybe if you ask permission at the Diary research building across the road you can still access, but we decided to try our luck at the next dirt road. It was very busy with people walking but the second afternoon we tried here we had a Spotted Buttonquail (14° 9'12.66"N, 121°14'40.57"E) crossing the road. In another field, somewhat further (14° 9'54.32"N, 121°15'12.36"E) we flushed Barred Buttonquail and added some open country species to the list.
Mount Makiling: Entrance fee is 20p (and you must leave some form of ID, getting it back on return). We started walking up just before dawn and not long after we heard the first call of a Spotted Wood Kingfisher. Frustratingly we heard several walking up but although we came very close 2 times were not able to see it (we later saw them very well at Sawa camp however). It is a very nice walk going through beautiful forest as the road climbs higher onto the mountain. The first part is paved and later it becomes just a small walking trail (14° 7'46.31"N, 121°12'36.01"E). The best birding was at the highest point just before we turned around. Here we had several good flocks with flowerpeckers, sunbirds, nuthatch etc.
Sawa Camp Logistics: Aquilino Escobar is the main contact (he can be reached via Facebook or tel: 09567324516). He picked us up from the airport and dropped us off in hotel Lorita (17°36'52.17"N, 121°43'47.50"E) in Tuguegarao after our trip. We paid 27000 for a five day trekking (Guiding by Aquilino, 3 porters and a horse). When we arrived at Tuguegarao we first went to the local supermarket to buy all the foods and supplies for the next days (costs 2000 total). We then drove to the house of Aquilino (17°33'29.31"N, 121°50'29.84"E) at the foot of the hills where all the supplies were divided among the porters and we repacked our luggage to only take the necessary stuff up the mountain (we left the remainder at the house). We started walking at 3pm the first afternoon and arrived at camp 1 at 6.30pm (17°35'4.65"N, 121°54'41.14"E). When in reasonable shape is it doable to walk up to camp 2 in one day but since our flight arrived at midday this option worked perfect for us. The last day we walked down in one stretch (leaving camp 2 at 11.30am and arriving at Aquilino at 5pm). We walked the entire trip on rubber boots which turned out to be a good decision: There are several small stream crossings and one big one. This being the dry season we do all the crossing with our boots (and some jumping). Some trails higher up are also very muddy.
Birding: Much has been written before about birding this site (Radstaak, Van de Laan, Chris Gooddie - The Jewel Hunter.) Most notable difference the complete destructions of whole sections of the forest caused above camp 2 by a major typhoon last October. Where Radstaak speaks of closed canopy with a viewpoint, during our visit the forest looked like a wasteland with lots of fallen trees, broken branches and most foliage still gone and dead. Luckily we still managed to see most of the target birds here, although it was hard work. Radstraak and Van der Laan describe seeing most targets above camp 2 at several stream crossings (‘the stream trail’) This part of the forest was destroyed most and the trail was only partly accessible now (only a little further than crossing 1). We explored this part for one full day but it turned out very quiet. Our best birding was on the trail that starts on the other side of the stream at the camp which we followed for quite some length (‘ the mountain trail’). Here we found the Luzon Bleeding-heard, the Fruit-Doves, several Spotted Wood Kingfishers, some good flocks and finally also our Whiskered Pitta. Although all groups go to Sawa camp Aquilino spoke about possibly opening another site (Dos Guernos?).
Target Birds: Whiskered Pitta: Aquilino knows several territories but during our visit the birds were frustratingly quiet. Our first afternoon we explored the first bit of the mountain trail and heard one pitta briefly calling below in the valley. Our first full day we went back to the same place along the mountain trail. The bird called again for a few times and although we came close to, it went completely silent. None of the other territories along the trail gave any response. The second full day we explored the stream trail. Aquilino briefly flushed a pitta along the trail (he walked in front) but after trying and waiting very long it only gave 2 calls and we failed to see it. All hope was then put on the 3rd and final morning we had above camp 2. We tried the mountain trail again and maybe because the weather had changed (more clouded than before) we found 3 birds calling a short bit up the trail (17°36'25.55"N, 121°56'2.82"E). We carefully crept into the forest and after an intense wait (the bird had fallen silent again) Helen suddenly saw at popping up behind a big trunk. It failed to show again so we changed strategy and climbed back to trail where we put the speaker at a reasonable distance and waited. This worked but only gave a short view of the Pitta flying across. A final attempt was made by going back into the forest and climbing down even further. Did Pitta called very close by for a while but the undergrowth was too dense to get a good view (Helen was lucky again here seeing it later at the opposite of the valley for a view seconds again). Luzon Bleeding-heart: one seen while searching for the Pitta when it silently walked past us on the forest floor. Flame-breasted Fruit Dove: Found by Rob sitting quietly on a branch along the upper part of the mountain trail (17°36'20.86"N, 121°56'46.57"E) Cream-breasted Fruit Dove: 2 birds flushed and then calling higher up along the mountain trail (17°36'11.85"N, 121°56'53.51"E) Luzon striped babbler: Seen in small flock when walking up from camp 1 to camp 2 Philippine nightjar: Actively calling at night at camp 1 and flying around the next early morning Blue-breasted Blue Flycatcher: Seen several times around camp 2 Furtive Flycatcher: Seen at a bamboo stretch when walking up from camp 1 to camp 2 (17°35'17.02"N, 121°54'40.23"E) White-fronted Tit – a few hundred meters along mountain trail
Species we missed: Cordillera Ground Warbler: heard/ seen by all reports. We tried hard near streams, apparently usually quite close to camp 2, but not for us. Spotted Imperial Pigeon: Sometimes seen during the hike up to camp 1. We scanned for pigeons regularly but hardly saw any pigeons during the entire trip (maybe caused by the typhoon of last October) Montane Racket-tail: none seen or heard.
Palawan
Sabang-area Underground River Park: This is a very popular tourist attraction, during the day hundreds of tourists arrive at Sabang and line up at the pier to visit the underground river park. For the independent traveller you have to arrange your permit up front in Puerto Princesa since only limited space is available each day. Directly after landing at the airport we drove to the Municipal Coloseum in Puerto Princesa (9°45'17.12", 118°44'54.51"E) and arranged our permit for the next morning. Later at Sabang we explained we only wanted to bird the general area at the river park and not enter the cave. Different from earlier trip reports it was very easy to arrange a boot at 5:30am to take us (1500 for the boat, 350 pp for the entrance of the general park area) We only birded around the ranger station and the beginning in the jungle trail. The Peacock-pheasant was seen in the right corner at the start of the jungle trail (behind the ranger’s house) where it came out of the forest a view times and enjoyed some rice thrown out by the ranger. Hooded Pitta was very easy and not shy at all. Other interesting birds here were several Palawan Blue Flycatchers and Ashy-headed Babbler.
ATV-trail: We parked the car along the road and birded here some time on both days (between 12am-2:30pm, between 9-10am and after dusk between 6:30-8pm). Activity was very slow during the day and we found no birds here that we did not see elsewhere (Ashy-headed babbler, Palawan Flowerpecker and HO Palawan Hornbill). The owling session gave us a close-by calling Palawan Frogmouth, HO Spotted Wood-owl and a fly-by sighting of Palawan Scops-owl.
Liyang Look-out: We started birding here at 4pm until dusk. Main target is the Red-vented Cockatoo that at the end of the day can be seen here returning to the hills. We had good views of at least 3 individuals flying by at close range. Other good species here were a group of Palawan Hornbills and Great Slaty Woodpecker (both seen with the telescope on the opposite hill).
Sabang road (1km north of the look-out): Most target birds where seen here on both days by walking up and down a short stretch of the road (between 2:30-4pm and between 10-11:30am). The high trees seemed to have some kind of small flowers or insects since they were very busy with all kinds of small birds; several Palawan tits, Palawan Flowerpecker, Pale Spiderhunter, Yellow-throated Leafbird, 3 species of sunbird (Lovely, Brown-throated, Purple- throated). We tried hard for Red-headed Flameback since other people had seen it here but we only found several Spot-throated Flamebacks.
Irawan Eco Park (watershed area) This park at the edge of Puerto Princesa offers a good option to find several of the Palawan endemics. We parked the car at the entrance (9°48'18.13"N, 118°40'56.04"E) and walked the unpaved road for one afternoon and one early morning. Birding was rather quiet (maybe caused by the clouded weather?) but we still managed to find some nice endemics. Palawan Flycatcher (9°48'37.87"N, 118°40'44.01"E) and Melodious Babbler (9°48'15.75"N, 118°40'49.45"E) were only seen here. The first afternoon we tried if we could walk around the loop but when we almost were back at the car there was a big river crossing that without wading through water over your knees was not doable to cross. We decided to turn around and walk all the way back (1,5h).
Iwahig Penal Farm Gallardy [2016] describes that to arrange a visit they went directly to the start of the Pool Trail and arranged the visit with the local security post (without going through the main office). We decided we would try the official way and tried to get a permit at the office. This did not turn out very well: We first had to write a request on paper (Our first draft that simply stated that we wanted to birding at the Pool Trail turned out to be too short). An officer of the Penal Farm then wrote a request for us, which next was typed out by someone else so Rob could sign it. Final approval had to be given by the Superintendent, who in the meantime went out for lunch and wouldn't be back for an hour. We went birding at the rice fields for a while and when we came back still no one to sign. We decided to leave, leaving our phone no. with the lady at the desk so that they could let us to let us know if we were allowed to go. No phone call or text in the next days however, and fed up with the situation we never visited the Pool Trail in the end. Future birders might try the Gallardy route first (although see Hottola 2015 for a totally different experience getting a permit).
Honda Bay A disappointment for us, as written by Gallardy [2016] this is getting more complicated. We messaged the contact Gallardy mentions in his report, but it turned out he now lives in El Nido and was not able to help. When we turned up at the pier and we enquired about birdwatching we were warned boats must be back by 5.00 (Pandan Island is a 40 min. boat ride), so staying until dusk is not an option. Since Gallardy had seen them in daylight we were still willing to try but in the process of booking someone else joined us at the desk to tell us birdwatching is prohibited on Pandan Island. We can only sit on the beach but are not allowed to wear binoculars. We decided to let it go... There must be other islands were the species can be seen without this much trouble so hopefully soon another place will become known. (We read Arjan Dwarshuis went with Rommel Cruz to an island near Puerto Princessa, this is probably the option tours use now as well?)
Zig-Zag Road. We only made two short stops here. First we stopped here on our way to Narra and walked up the road for a few hundred meter between 11 and 12 am. The old road is being rebuild and for the part we saw it was almost ready to be reopened (although the beginning was blocked with some rocks to prevent cars from driving in). The forest looks good but in the midday heat we had little bird activity. On the way back from Narra we made a short stop just after dusk to try for Palwan Frogmouth. Several were heard and two times we had one calling close but unfortunately just out of sight.
Mt. Victoria: A reliable option for Palawan Striped Babbler, a two day trek (7 hours up and 6 down) to 1350 meters asl. Jehson Cervancia ([email protected]/09398826987) knows all the details and can arrange the trip. He is a very enthusiastic biologist who works at the Tourism department in Narra. We arrived at Narra in the afternoon and were then able to meet Jehson to arrange the permit at the townhall (9°16'3.00"N, 118°24'16.26"E). We also gave him 2000 pesos to arrange food and supplies for the next morning. We paid 1500 per day for guiding, 800 per day for the porter and 800 to rent the tent and cooking stove. Doing the trekking in 2 days was quite tough but doable even for an out-of-shape hiker. There are many river crossings in de first part of the hike but as we were in the dry part of the year we managed to get across with rubber boots (and sometimes a good jump on to another rock). Birding: The Palawan striped babbler is quite common in the upper part of the mountain and also some other nice higher elevation species can be seen here. Just below the camp we had our only Falcated Wren Babblers of the trip, thanks to the gps point of Ross Gallardy. Walking up we saw several Red-headed Flamebacks which until that point had still eluded us. When the Palawan Peacock-Pheasant at the Riverpark disappears, Mount Victoria will be a good option to try for it instead. We heard one male calling close to trail (we tried to see it but failed), Gallardy did however have a party of 3 on the trail walking down.
