endemicguides Birds Report – 2016 Feb 29 – March 4 – Fraser Hill – Kuala Selangor

we “endemlaiscguides.com” having German guests for birds watching, from Kuala Lumpur – KRAU forest (half day) – Fraser Hill – Kuala Selangor – Kuala Lumpur

We have lovely German Guests from German, they are here from eco related conference and extend few days for Malaysia Birds watching. we mostly walk around for any birds as we dont have any main target .

 

Day 1 – KRAU forest – we are little slow in the morning missed out few interesting birds e.g. little grebe, lesser whistling duck, lapwing etc … but some how we got few good view of broadbilss (black & red, banded, black & yellow). We also have very good view of Garnet pitta, Rufous-collard Kingfisher & black-throat babbler. We left the site about lunch time and travel to Fraser.

we got Bamboo woodpecker female very good view and eyelevel Yellow Vented pigeon (too bad I dont have camera with me on that time but I still able to get some higher shot of the birds)

Day2-3 Fraser Hill- overall it was windy days and we work very hard for those main targets here e.g. red headed trogon, orange headed trogon, long-tailed broadbill, silver breasted broadbill . any how we able to have both trogons and Silver breasted broadbill at single spot . but we struggle to have a look of long-tailed broadbill but any how we still able to got the bird at last 2-3 hours at Fraser hill before heading to Kuala Selangor.

Day4- Kuala Selangor – it is very good day at Kuala Selangor, we have almost black capped kingfisher , stork billed kingfishers, yellow rumped flycatcher, mangrove blue flycatcher etc .. overall a very good day till we almost missed our check out time. after Kuala Selangor, we dropby Shah Alam and have super fast even less than 10s to spot the Hooded pitta

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)

 

I managed rush back to car for few occasions and handheld to capture some birds pictures to share…
