6th February  2012,Taman Rimba Ampang, Selangor

Local Name: Rembah Bukit Scientific Name: Hemipus picatus A pair of Bar-winged Flycatcher-shrikes were building their nest on a branch right above the main road inside Taman Rimba Ampang. This one is the female with white underparts, the male has a  light brown tinge to the breast and belly. It is interesting to see how both birds work together in the nest building process.
