endemicguides Birds Report – 2016 Feb 21-25 – KRAU – Bukit Tinggi – Fraser Hill – Kuala Lumpur

we “endemlaiscguides.com” having Belgium guest for target birds watching, from Kuala Lumpur – KRAU forest – Bukit Tinggi – Fraser Hill – Kuala Lumpur

for the 5 days 4 nights birds watching , from secondary forest to highland back to botanical Garden … we only concentrate on guest targets birds and managed to record  172 species. and for some good opportunity. from

Day 1 – KRAU : we have some good morning with many low land targets meet except a “mysterious”  Black & Yellow Broadbill and Banded Pitta… Star Bird of the day we have Rail-Babbler , Garnet Pitta which stay long snough for us , Little Green-Pigeon , Rufous-collared Kingfisher (real close with good view), Banded Kingfisher (found almost end of the day and long view but little far up with scope) & Rhinoceros Hornbill  (with beautiful lighting view)

Day 2 – Bukit Tinggi : target for the Mountain Peacock-Pheasant and both male and female show in the early morning … follow by Malaysian Rail-babbler giving a good running view. than we have a bad day without any more target in almost late morning till 3pm … finally when we say while we dint see Whiskered Treeswift …. it calling when we are driving for some target birds and we make a stop and found this fruiting tree give us another few target included Scaly-breasted Bulbul , Red-throated Sunbird, Spectacled Spiderhunter , Yellow-eared Spiderhunter  etc

Day 3 – KRAU-Fraser : we were going back to KRAU for trogon and we had ZERO trogon so far ..and again we also look for other lowland target … in the morning we managed to have Banded Pitta (Malayan) [head view]and than follow by first target trogon – Scarlet-rumped Trogon … and we called it a Woodpecker day as most the target woodpeckers just appear infront of us without big effort Checker-throated Woodpecker , Crimson-winged Woodpecker , Bamboo Woodpecker , Orange-backed Woodpecker .

Day 4 – Fraser Hill : not many target birds here and we only looking for those “no so common” birds here … so we have slow day … but still we have very easy view of 2 Marbled Wren-Babbler which make our day .. but we still failed to have one Partridge calling … and missed few Rusty-naped Pitta … but Siberian Thrush giving good view to us which we really enjoy to see they happy feeding around

Day 5 – Fraser Hill – Kuala Lumpur : not really a productive day again as we only target on the main target due to limited time , we managed to get close to Mountain Scops-Owl and have a moving and some blur picture of Gray-breasted Partridge (Malaysian) . when we leaving back to Kuala Lumpur it is very windy and tree fall down and block our way back … by waiting of 30 min the road been clear .

as long as we reach Kuala Lumpur – Shah Alam : very quick one we had 2 target meet : Gray-breasted Spiderhunter & Hooded pitta (2 individual saw also)

2016 Lifer – Yellow-vented green pigeon

Saw this pigeon last year but not able to get a picture of it. Finally have some spare time and spent ~2 days waiting to get a open shot for this bird.

it is bit shy, whenever it is open and I try to move myself it will trying to hide from me … not bad for limited angle and time for this

– 非常小,可爱的特别的沙巴特有种。通常站高高为了看猎物。

We special arrange to be there and award with 2 in one frame

– 疫情后,很奇怪。这鸟几乎消失在之前的鸟点。在几个蛮出名的森林保护区都不容易见到。可是,几个比较稳的点都在城市/小镇附近。因为地点问题,我们不是每次都会去看/拍这鸟。这一次,特别目标鸟图包含这只小猛禽。我们特别安排时间去拍。去到不久就看到2只站一起的画面。。。。。。

– after missed the Crimson-Headed partridge at common spot (after wait of ~1 hour), decided to continue to KNP and found this lovely tiny raptor. only with 500mm so it is a bit heavy crop but love to see it doing good and with lovely butterfly

– 在普通的红头林鹧鸪点等了~1个小时,鸟没出现。我们直上神山,幸运的我们尽然看到这鸟捉了蝴蝶去喂小孩。因为没准备好,只用了500 焦段。裁截了蛮多的。

– it is surprise to see it at this elevation again and this time not that high up at canopy, but backlit with quite a lot of shadow and highlight recovery.

– very cute bird as usual. look like a Panda

– 第二次在这么高海拔见到它还要站的不是太高。。可是背光太厉害,后期用了点时间。

– 非常可爱的小熊猫。

– we were actually searching the shorebirds near the beach and all of sudden all birds take off and we found this world’s faster bird dive down and trying to hunt the Lesser Sand Plover but it failed… and again it trying to hunt for another 2x Curlew Sandpiper but it failed again and leave without any success.

– it really dives down and flying all direction fast and make many frames out of focus. It can reach over 320 km/h while diving for hunting.

– 我们在看水鸟。突然间,全部鸟都起飞。我们看到这世界上飞最快的鸟来了个突袭可是连捕捉3只鸟都不成功。

– 这鸟飞的真快。我又用了较长的焦段,错过很多很好的一幕。在追捕猎物时,速度可以到达 320km/h.
