Brown Wood Owl : True Colours
| 30th October 2011, Fraser’s Hill, Pahang. |
|
I wouldn’t have known that she was there had it not been for a helpful caretaker of a house who pointed out her position. It was an ideal perch along a quiet stretch of the Telekom Loop, a sheltered branch of a large tree and dimly lit … perfect for an owl during daytime. It is the same species of Owl which I photographed at nightime in front Jelai Resort a few weeks earlier. The colours are just so different in daylight. Half asleep, I don’t think she’d welcome any kind of disturbance.

Mountain Imperial Pigeons

|
They are pretty sizeable birds (41-53cm), the majestic Mountain Imperial Pigeons. I guess It must have been my lucky day. I was concentrating on a single pigeon perching on the open branch when two other birds decided to fly in !

Slaty-Backed Forktail: Close Encounter
| 30th October 2011, Fraser’s Hill, Pahang. |
|
She nearly crashed into my windscreen as I reached the old traffic guard post at Fraser’s Hill. She went to the roadside and started making her way along the drain, sometimes disappearing in the drain itself. I wasn’t ready , and all my gear was at the back of the car but luckily she stayed long enough for me to setup and put in a couple of shots from a distance.

Paddyfield Pipit
| 14th October 2011, Bidor, Perak |
| Bumped into this little guy, scurrying along the dirt track before she paused momentarily on a grassy patch. I always make an extra effort to shoot the Pipits because you never know that could be your Richard’s.

Cattle Egret’s Buffalocade
| 14th October 2011, Bidor, Perak |
|
Cattle King: Is the ferry service ready Mr Buffalo?… That’s probably what the egret was enquiring. Mr Buffalo: At your service Cattle King Mr Buffalo: Hop on…. a few extra bodyguards just to be sure.
Cattle King: Oh oh….What’s up Special Agent Myna? Agent Myna: Looks like we have some security issues, better not leave this Buffalocade. There’s a funny looking guy eyeing us through a scope! Cattle King: Oh… come on, this is Bidor. They don’t shoot Egrets out here… do they? Agent Myna: ‘One can’t be too sure Cattle King. From what I hear things are quite bad in Kuala Selangor, they are not locals and egrets are their delicacy!' |
