Short-Tailed Babbler

15th May 2010, Kemensah, Selangor.

Knew roughly where to go based on Mike’s description of the area.

This was my first stopover, the  objective being the Short-tailed Babblers.

A pair was already busy foraging in the undergrowth when I entered the target zone.

A lifer

  2. Nice shots! From the short tail you would think he was just some type of baby babbler!

  3. This seems to be a very inquisitive little bird. I really like the last "action" shot.

    cheers,
