Yes but not all that far off. By my book of the Philippine birds, there are 12 species of the same genus as our Mistletoebird there. We just have one. I did see at least one, I think the Palawan Flowerpecker on Palawan..... if I remember rightly. And Duterte (the president of the Philippines) is quite a topic of conversation.

Hi all,

The answers to the Australia Day “quiz” are as follows – ................

I am not sure why Geoffrey has put up the Mistletoebird discussing the president of the Philippines as the species doesn’t occur there going by the sources I have checked. Any comment Geoffrey?

As I have said this has all been done very tongue in cheek and as a bit of fun. Thanks to those who had a go! Again thanks to Geoffrey Dabb for letting me use his images without permission!!

Cheers,

Mark
