Kemensah : 10 May 2009

This Raffle’s Malkoha landed for less than 5 seconds and then she was gone.	View from the birding area . Kemensah’s version of Gorilla Mountain. No gorillas here, George!
Startled a Rufous Piculet ( local name: Belatuk Kecil ). Nearly dropped her catch. . . . . . . . . Just discovered that my son Ilyas had taken a photo (partly hidden) of a female Rufous-Collared Kingfisher in Kemensah a week ago which I earlier thought was a Common Kingfisher. I intend to get better photos of the Blue-Eared Kingfisher as well so maybe Mission Kingfisher is next on the agenda.	Seeing a Rufous Piculet for the first time, it struck me as to how small the bird was. It’s really tiny!
