Lobo
Location: Lobo, Dapa, Siargao Island, Surigao Del Norte (Mindanao).
Abstract: Degraded lowland dipterocarp forest, plantations and scrub forest in central part of Siargao Island.
Difficulty: Easy.
Transport: Motorcycle, General Luna to Dapa. From Dapa to Del Carmen, take the first dirt road outside Dapa proper after the sign with “DENR Office” (at the left side of the road) on it. This cart track swings for about 30 minutes through a coconut plantation with brush wood. The track will slowly turn into a narrow and partly overgrown trail. After a few hundred meters, there is an open grassy location- the start of the Lobo Trail. The Lobo Trail will continue until the next village.
Remarks: Small groups of Rufous Hornbills were seen and heard here early in the morning. Black-headed Tailorbird was seen and heard (quite common) alongside the Lobo Trail and at one of the uphill trails. Some noisy mixed flocks of Yellowish Bulbul, Metallic-winged Sunbird, Brown Tit-Babbler and Everett’s White-eye were seen here.

Mahayahay
Location: Mahayahay, Del Carmen, Siargao Island, Surigao del Norte (Mindanao).
Abstract: Forest will start after the point where the road changes into a narrower trail. After a few hundred meters, another trail (on the left side) will go uphill. It’s possible to follow this trail for 1-2 kilometers before it splits into an overgrown and unrecognizable track. The hills are largely covered with lowland dipterocarp forest mixed with coconut trees and bamboo.
Difficulty: Easy.
Transport: Motorcycle from General Luna to Mahayahay, via Osmeña. From, Osmeña take the road going to Pilar. After 15-20 minutes, you will arrive in sitio Maasin. From here, a road could take you to the airport (Sayak) and Del Carmen. Continue the road to Pilar and after 10-15 minutes, you will see an inlet with nipa trees and mangroves on your right. Take the first road (going to Mahayahay) on the left after the inlet. Follow this road for two kilometres after passing a few huts (= sitio Mahayahay). The road turns into an overgrown trail called the Mahayahay Trail.
Remarks: Mindanao Broadbill was seen on the uphill trail about 50 meters from the Mahayahay Trail. Flocks of Yellowish Bulbul were heard and seen scattered alongside the trails.

Sudlon
Location: Sudlon, Socorro, Bucas Grande, Surigao del Norte (Mindanao).
Abstract: Extensive dipterocarp forest with coconut and scrub forest. Arrange a motorcycle at the harbour of Socorro and drive to Sudlon. From Socorro to nearby Nueva Estrella, turn left just before the “centre” of Nueva Estrella. This is the road to Sudlon. Follow the road until Sudlon (a group of huts) and then take a trail/road going to the right. There some trails to follow into good lowland dipterocarp forest.
Difficulty: Easy.
Transport: Boat, Dapa to Socorro (1 hr). Motorcycle, Socorro to Sudlon (30 minutes).
Remarks: A few Rufous Hornbills were heard and briefly seen here. Birding opportunities are good here and it’s very possible to find Mindanao Broadbill and Mindanao Bleeding-heart at this site! Locals in Sudlon declared these two species as present here.

Birds:
Black-faced Coucal, Mindanao Hornbill, Rufous Hornbill, Wattled Broadbill, Yellowish Bulbul, Black-headed Tailorbird and Short-crested Monarch.
