A calling Falcated Ground Babbler
This is a Falcated Ground-Babbler, one of the most gorgeous and most sought-after Palawan endemics. This lowland, uncommon and very secretive skulker prefers to stay near the ground in dense foliage, turning leaves and dried litter in search of small invertebrates and grubs. This endemic has a loud, conspicuous song consisting of melodious whistles and babbling notes will often respond to playback. Hear it for yourself. 🙂
