One Fruiting Tree

12th February 2011, Kemensah , Selangor

The same tree that attracted the Scaly-breasted Bulbuls  was also a magnet for other birds A pair of Gold-Whiskered Barbet  couldn’t resist the temptation of  the succulent fruits (managed to shoot one) A male Greater Green Leafbird A male Asian Fairy Bluebird  brought the other half A female Asian Fairy Bluebird A Buff-Vented Bulbul Crimson-Breasted Flowerpecker This Little Spiderhunter stopped momentarily on the tree and then flew to a nearby Bamboo, I guess she qualifies!

It’s Mine Mine Mine. All Mine

Far from greed, never beyond what they need.

Far from greed, a  shelter to be and  to breed.

Far from greed, for the cycle of  life they feed.

Far from greed.

Crimson-Breasted Flowerpecker

Yellow-Vented Flowerpecker

31st January 2010, Kemensah, Selangor

At first sight I  mistook her for a Yellow-Bellied Flowerpecker which I shot last week. Upon further review she turned out to be a lovely Yellow-Vented  Flowerpecker (Dicaeum chrysorrheum) local name: Sepah Puteri Rimba , a lifer.

Scarlet-Backed Flowerpecker: fire in the bush

22nd  November 2009, Kemensah, Selangor

Photographing a  tiny, quick moving Flowerpecker  is always a challenge and  this one is no exception. He was constantly  flying  from one branch to another which made waiting for a clean shot  not good for your blood pressure! .   This is a male   Scarlet-Backed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum cruentatum) local name: Sepah Puteri Merah

Flowerpeckers love this hairy but succulent fruit                               Ferrari always comes to mind whenever the word scarlet is mentioned . Well, they may not be loud and quick  as the ‘prancing horse’ but to me they  are in a category of their own in terms of beauty.

3rd  October 2009, Kemensah, Selangor I needed to improve on the existing photos of the Orange-Bellied Flowerpecker (Dicaeum trigonostigma) and the  opportunity came when a few birds flew in and lingered above our heads just before the bird wave began.
