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!'

Buffalo Bill? Didn’t Know Bidor Is a Cowboy Town!

8 July 2009, FRIM Bidor, Perak

Sorry, there are no cowboys, just buffalos and beautiful birds. Stopped by Bidor to get pictures of the Eastern Cattle Egrets (Babulcus coromandus) which I missed during my earlier visit. This time I drove around and took photos from the car, it worked! Previously all the egrets fled and did not return after they saw me walking along the ex-mining pool. These Cattle Egrets looked relaxed and were enjoying the free ferry boat ride courtesy of the Water Buffalos.
