For Peninsula Malaysia a blackbird that loves to moving fast in the forest …. we make a trip just for this bird .. but found out it is not really active but was lucky it appear for food just 10-15min before we leaving … ~33cm
For Borneo ~28cm , smaller . Brownish color but behave same, moving fast and making a lot of noise.
– finally all 5 special 2 bird family tours done for Rail-Babbler & this Jayshrike .. this year lucky to have 100% . This bird normally quite straight forward but it missing for the 1st day and only heard but without show us . Day2, early morning when we step down from car, immediate I heard the call within 2 minutes we got the bird and Bingo !!
– another special trip to this “South” of Peninsular Malaysia but this time we actually target only Malaysian Rail-Babbler and Cinnamon-rumped Trogon. Day1 , we already have this bird again with better view and photo and the Rail-Babbler give a good view but …
– an active bird that everyone seem special look for this bird family
– another very good encounter from Borneo, which smaller and color different from Peninsular Malaysia/Thailand species (which is bigger and Black)
– not really sure just me, it getting difficult to have good view for this bird at Borneo .. it just get more shy compare to before pandemic
– 在婆罗洲行，另一只突然听到，看到，拍到的好鸟。与马来西亚西马，泰国的颜色不一样+小一点。
– 不知道是我而已还是有点变化，疫情前蛮容易看到。可是疫情后，几乎那个地方都很害羞。
