Another Round: Whiskered Treeswifts

10th July 2010, Kemensah, Selangor.

The same couple that  lost their chick were  incubating a new egg. To answer my question, they did not reuse the old nest ( no longer there) but had chosen a different tree to build their nest. Their previous chick died on 10th June 2010 and I suspect that they have been  brooding the new egg for a couple of weeks now.

This was what the White-throated Kingfisher was eyeing. She was later chased away by one of the treeswifts ever so wary of intruders.

Unlike the previous round, I will only be making weekly checks on their progress.

  2. Very nice series of this beautiful treeswift!
    I always like observing treeswifts at their nests. In northern Thailand, we have Crested Treeswift, which often builds its nest on electric pole!
