Re: Palawan Flowerpecker (Prionochilus plateni)
First of all, welcome to CiC...it will be nice if you can say something about yourself via your profile.
I like your shot of the cashew fruit...I don't remember, can you eat the fruit or is this just grown for the seed/nut at the top? Just curious...I think we used to have about two trees at the back of our property while I was living there for a while...
An oh, I've been to Palawan once for a week...it is about a 200 mile or so walk from top to bottom and I enjoyed the most beautiful week of my life there. I think this is where I have seen a waterfall near the beach...of all places. One day I will go back there...one for my bucket list.
