IRRI staff housing - 21st/ 22nd February
Tuesday was the first sunny day in weeks, so I took the opportunity to have an afternoon wander around the staff housing complex. A large fruiting tree in the grounds of the DG's house attracted a lot, including Pygmy Flowerpecker and Red-keeled Flowerpecker, Yellow-vented Bulbul and many Coppersmiths. A male Purple-throated Sunbird showed well, and a solitary Eye-browed Thrush perched in the top of a tree for a few minutes. Stripe-headed Rhabdornis and Philippine Woodpeckers were also conspicuous.

Eye-browed Thrush. My first for a couple of years, a great bird to get inside the compound.
Coppersmith...
...and partner. Lots about today, fruiting trees and sunshine, they seemed to be having a ball!
