Elegant Tit, anyone?

Here is another short video clip: an Elegant Tit singing its heart out in cool and breezy Mt. Polis, the Cordilleras, Luzon, Philippines. The Elegant Tit is a widespread Philippine endemic that can be found in most islands of the Philippines except Palawan (where it is replaced by the equally-charming Palawan Tit). It is one of the core species of mixed flocks, and is usually seen feeding with Philippine Bulbul, Sulphur-billed Nuthatch, and Blue-headed Fantail (in Luzon) and Black and Cinnamon Fantail (in Mindanao). Though common, it is a pretty bird to watch and hear with its distinctive yellow and black plumage and its nice, melodious, always cheerful song. Another thing nice about this bird is that once you hear it calling, chances are there are other small birds present as well. Happy birding week everyone!
