| 22nd February 2010, Taman Melawati, Selangor |
| Had very limited time last weekend for birding so decided to just check up on our little friend nearby and see how she’s getting along. I was thinking maybe she’ll let me have some improvement shots. She’s still there and was very obliging , kept coming back to the same perch and stayed for a few minutes each time. | |   |
nice one bro, I have always wanted to ask you where is Taman Melawati and which turning should I be taking if I am approaching from the Duke highway, I wanted a better shot of this fella if I may.
ReplyDeleteWow... great lighting!.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for you to post the fish-in-mouth shoots. ;)
binti apa? binti-binti.
ReplyDeleteIf your coming fr DUKE/ Batu Caves, head for the Zoo. Before the Zoo turn left before the flyover into Taman Melawati. Go straight past the Petrol stations( Caltex & BHP) past the schools until U reach a roundabout. Take 12.O clock, about 100m is a Blue Mosque on your left, park in front of the mosque. Across the road there are 2 Oxidation Ponds, walk along the path/stream in between the brick-fenced pond until stream meets the river. The BE Kingf will be on the tree( branch overhanging the stream) right at the T across the small stream ( set your gear right at the T and wait). Sometimes she will rest at the foot of the bamboo 50m before the T.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and good hunting.
Great shots! Just love them. I just found a places to shoot this little fella at Hulu Perdik last week. But the bg is not as good as yours. So...with your detailed direction I thought I want to give a try at your place this week. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIncredible.
ReplyDeleteTo get that on a webpage.
It seems to come right at you.
And those fabulous colours.
I missed the guy, the week before last. At the pond in Kemensah, just by the fish pond and the road. he was faster on the draw. I came home empty handed. Thanks for the new location.
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to watch KFs...excellent shots again
ReplyDeleteWith the good description, found the place. Waited for 2.5 hours no show. Found its home too and the bird flew pass 2 times without stopping.
ReplyDeleteYes, they can be rather unpredictable. Usually she's active between 8.00-9.30 am. Better luck next time.
