Wild Birds of the Philippines in 4K (Part II)

This Part II of the series includes an extremely rare footage (4K or otherwise) of the Pygmy Flowerpecker (Dicaeum pygmaeum). This bird, found only in the Philippines, is just about 3 inches in total length from tip of bill to tip of tail. Its tiny size and skittish behavior make filming it in the wild a very tough job.

There are over 600 species of Philippine birds, and about a third of these are endemic to our islands. Over 10% of these species are globally threatened.

By filming these magnificent winged creatures in their natural habitat and sharing the high-resolution footage, I hope that in my own little way, I can help raise awareness for the protection of their habitat.
