    Andrew a lot of birds here are endemic to certain islands, and it's quite hard to identify them at times. I e not heard of this one being here.
    There is a guy called jac Señagan who works in the tourist office and does bird watching tours and is the expert here.

    My place is more or less 250 meters above sea level, and its a home for several tropical birds that sings almost 18 hours! i have 2 kinds of birds that sings at night.
    I have this Brown big bird about a foot long that comes out during dusk time with a big loud sound,he stays up in mango trees and coconuts. I also have seasonal birds coming. But the regulars that sings form 5am till dusk are; oriental magpie robin, red handsome sunbird,yellow sunbird,fantails and munia. I also have a seasonal, cuckoos, dark headed wagtail,asian brown flycatcher,green-backed whistler,eurasian sparrow,blue kingfisher and asian gloosy red eyed starling that my cat caught last week.
    I have 2 big mulberry fruit trees,flowers,and mango that this birds enjoyed most. I also have dwarf banyan trees and buddha & chinese bamboo that holds up several nest.
