	Scimitar babbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scimitar babblers are birds in the genera Pomatorhinus, Xiphirhynchus and Jabouilleia of the large Old World babbler family of passerines.
		Scimitar babblers are rangy, medium-sized, floppy-tailed landbirds with soft fluffy plumage.
		Most scimitar babblers are jungle species, difficult to observe in the dense vegetation they prefer, but like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and the characteristic bubbling calls are often the best indication that these birds are present.

	Old World babbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Old World babblers are a large family of mostly Old World passerine birds.
		They are rather diverse in size and coloration, but are characterised by soft fluffy plumage.
		The timaliids are one of two unrelated groups of birds known as babblers, the other being the Australasian Babblers of the family Pomatostomidae (also known as pseudo-babblers).

		Which is a large species of fl gibbon, and their extraordinary vocalizations are frequently heard echoing around the hills in the early mornings.
		We drive through forest and large areas of rubber and oil-palm plantations to Kuala Tembeling and then we shall travel by boat for approximately 3 hours upriver to the park's headquarters and lodge at Kuala Tahan.
		One of the best ways of seeing large numbers of species is to find a fruiting tree and wait nearby as fruit-eating birds fly in to reap the benefits.

		When we arrived at high tide the next day, the shorebirds were congregated in large groups in the small area of mud available.
		We had prolonged and superb views at 80 yards as the ibis shifted about nervously on a large dead tree.
		Four arboreal species had also swelled our total--the spectacularly billed Red-vented Barbet (the only special we were to encounter with any regularity), the subtly different Grey-faced Tit-Babbler, the large Ratchet-tailed Treepie and the truly striking and noisy White-winged Magpie (species number 7,500 for Phoebe).

		Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus: We had a fantastic view of a large pale individual, perched up on an island at Kratie and was likely a migrant, possibly of the race callidus.
		Large Scimitar-Babbler Pomatorhinus hypoleucos: A contender for ‘vocalisation of the trip’, we had a prolonged encounter with a very shy but noisy individual in the forest at Bokor.
		Apparently just 70 survive in the Mekong and this population is sadly declining, largely due to by-catch from gill-netting, and collisions with fast boats.

		After the bamboo you enter a couple of kms of decent forest and then you come to a large cleared area, if you cross over this there is access to other areas of degraded forest just beyond.
		This area is very frustrating, from the road it looks like a large area of untouched forest, when you actually get in, you realise it is very badly degraded.
		To find it, look for a large white house on the right of the road before a sharp left hand bend about 8km up from Sa Pa. The house is to the right of a driveable rough track with two large white signs on the left of the track.

	WORLDTWITCH - Vietnam Trip Report (1998) by Jon Hornbuckle, March-April 1998
		Peter and Neil had White-hooded Babbler here after we left, in the vicinity of the water-tank and a few km further on, just beyond where the path splits into three, in bamboo along the left branch - Collared Owlet and Streaked Wren-Babbler were also here.
		An early morning trek up to the steps to the transmitter proved a waste of time and the steps were very busy the rest of the day, so again no Niltava.
		We did locate a pair of Crocias, with tape assistance, by taking the left-hand trail up the long log, continuing up and then down to where a log, with 1998 carved on it, crosses the trail; keeping left, uphill to the crest at 1320m, the Crocias were 100-200m beyond the crest.

		Down at The Gap, the large fig tree had a little fruit, and this was enough to attract Gold-whiskered, Red-throated, Black-browed and Blue-eared Barbets.
		In a large bird flock, we spotted a pair of dazzling Scarlet-rumped Trogons, Crested Jay showed fairly well, and a good range of babblers included a very responsive pair of Ferruginous.
