Fraser Hill Malaysia - Birding Part II

This medium size bird is a curious one I encountered them more than 3 occasion while birding ........they just flew over....... feets away from you. You can even use flash to get a sharper image at such distance. They are low ground feeder. The picture shows one of Chestnut capped laughing Thrust about to pound on a grub.


The following are 2 birds which are most striking and colorful that I have seen in the wild and its just awesome as they sort of pose to you...... actually they are also curious looking at you with your big camera. The first one is the Silver-eared Mesia which I sighted at the worker quarters & near Mager road junction area in the early morning.

The next one is the Oranged bellied Leafbird . They are seen at Silverpark Resort if you want to know.









At the Jeriau Waterfall track I sighted a Black creasted Bulbul with its white-eye giveaway. The late evening light was not so good for photography. It was just playing hide and seek with me.... Peek a Boo. I even capture a raptor flying high. It most probly a migratory Don't think its a Blyth's hawk -eagle . Anyone can identify the silhuoette?

Some other birds that I sighted are Little Cuckoo Dove; Large Cuckoo Shrike White Bellied Swift and the little one Pied Flycatcher.

I did not manage to sight any woodpecker.............. well you cannot be so lucky maybe next year.
