As soon as we got to our homestay, our friendly host excitedly mentioned that a Ruddy Kingfisher had been spotted near the river flowing right by us.
After enjoying the sight of the kingfisher, we were thrilled to see probably a Green Imperial-Pigeon land in the tree right in front of us!
But the bird action didn’t stop there! We also spotted Finchbill Myna joining the lively gathering of birds,
along with the eye-catching Sulawesi Hanging-Parrot.
And just before lunch, we were delighted to see a Black-naped Fruit-Dove appear among the mix!
After a little break, we headed back into the forest. While wandering through the undergrowth, we caught a glimpse of some shadows darting around. After a bit of chasing, we were lucky enough to identify a Philippine Megapode, despite the tricky lighting.
After spending over an hour exploring, we finally spotted another amazing bird of Tangkoko: the Ochre-bellied Boobook!
To wrap up our Day 3 at Tangkoko, we spotted a Lesser Coucal.
Later that evening, I took a stroll around our homestay in the light drizzle, soaking in the last moments here before we head to Tomohon tomorrow. It's hard to believe that three incredible days of birdwatching have flown by so quickly!
Oh, and when the rain let up, we noticed swarms of termites buzzing around!
